Jason Hawk recently updated his followers on Instagram about the severe tornado that struck his area. In his post, Jason recounted a harrowing night on the mountain, expressing relief that his family is safe despite the extensive damage caused by the tornado.
He shared,
“Bad night on the mountain, tornados hit the area pretty good. Family is all good and I am thankful. But a lot of damage.”
Fans quickly flooded the comments with messages of concern and support. One fan expressed their sorrow and desire to help, writing,
“Jason, I’m sorry to see this happened. I wish I could help but I’m a long way from Arkansas.”
Jason’s response highlighted the strong sense of community in his area:
“I appreciate it, buddy. I have been splitting my time between my cleanup and neighbors. Everyone round here helps each other out. Usually locals are out clearing roads and lines hours before the officials.”
Jason’s words underscore the resilience and camaraderie among his neighbors, who come together to tackle the aftermath of such disasters. Despite the challenges, the spirit of mutual support remains strong in their community.
In a subsequent video post, Jason showed himself and his daughter Mae surveying the extensive damage behind their shop.
He wrote,
“Mae and I exploring just how far the damage was behind the shop. We could see at least a mile-long trail coming out of the canyon. We are both exhausted from yesterday’s cleanup. Total cleanup will take months. It is amazing how you can actually track where it touched down, lifted, and the path the twister took.”
The video sparked further concern from fans, one of whom commented,
“Oh no! Wow, I am so sorry, bud, but I’m glad you and your family are alright. We’ll say a prayer for all of you here. Man, I was working my ass off in a Cat 988H and stopped to take a break and chug some Gatorade. This came as a shock and I’m not even there.”
Jason replied,
“That is just a small part, bud. Lost one building, shingles and the like. But the forestry damage is vast. My neighbor has 350 acres of downed fences and trees to be removed before we can refence.”
Jason’s updates and the community’s response highlight the significant impact of the tornado and the extensive efforts required for recovery. Despite the daunting task ahead, the community’s solidarity and support provide a strong foundation for rebuilding.

Jason Hawk’s misfortunate didn’t end there.
Recently, Jason Hawk, a star of “Mountain Men,” took to Instagram to share some disheartening news following the devastation of a tornado that caused extensive damage, the cleanup of which will take months.
In his post, Jason explained that, just as they were beginning to deal with the aftermath of the tornado, they encountered a new challenge.
Due to a miscommunication with a foreign service representative, their website was permanently deleted. Despite spending hours on the phone trying to resolve the issue, it became clear that there was no way to recover the lost site.
Fortunately, Jason has a friend who is a web designer, and they are working diligently to restore the website. For now, they will launch a bare-bones version of the site while they continue to develop a new, more comprehensive one.
In an effort to bounce back and support their community, Jason announced that they will be holding a major sale once the new website is operational. He promised to keep everyone updated on their progress and the details of the upcoming sale.
