The boy and his half-sister, Destiny, are now living with other relatives. Jonathan had been living with Mrs. Driver since October 1997 when his mother turned him over to her. After the tornadoes, the children's mother took custody of them for a short time before they were placed in foster care because their mother was investigated for abuse. It was all too stressful for Mrs. Driver, who spent several months living in Utah with her daughter after she almost had a nervous breakdown. After living in successive foster homes, the children were put up for adoption last fall.
Destiny remembers everything from the night of the tornadoes.
Mrs. Driver's memory is less vivid since she was hit in the head with a wood plank. All three of them get nervous whenever they hear a plane flying overhead - the sound too much like a tornado. Deciding not to rebuild her home, Mrs. Driver is now living by herself in a two-bedroom apartment.
