Here’s a timelapse from the heart of downtown Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

I filmed this same view for about an hour and compressed it down into a quick look at the way this town moves. Cars easing through the curve, people walking past the old storefronts, shadows shifting across the street, and the Basin Park Hotel standing right in the middle of it all.

Eureka Springs has one of those downtowns that does not feel built on a normal grid. The streets bend with the hills, the buildings stack into the landscape, and every corner feels like it has a story tucked into it.

Just a short little moment from a town that feels like it was made to be noticed slowly.

On April 28, 2026, an EF-3 tornado tore through Mineral Wells, leaving behind destroyed homes, damaged businesses, scattered debris, and a community facing one of the hardest moments it has seen in years.

But this film is not just about the damage.

It is about what happened after.

I spent the day speaking with people across Mineral Wells who stepped into the recovery in different ways. Fire Chief Ryan Dunn, Brittany Brown with the City of Mineral Wells, Amy Orr with Center of Life, Megan Hudson helping coordinate community and nonprofit efforts, Pastor Caleb Shipman with Gospel Light Baptist Church, Christy Dorr, JD Shull with New Haven Ministries, and Lisa Valencia with Valencia’s Tacos all shared their part of the story.

Some were helping coordinate emergency response. Some were sorting donations. Some were feeding people. Some were checking on families. Some were simply doing whatever needed to be done next.

Together, their stories show how Mineral Wells came together locally, statewide, nationally, and even beyond.

There is grief in this story. There is loss. There are families and businesses still facing a long road ahead. But there is also something incredibly powerful here: neighbors helping neighbors, churches opening their doors, nonprofits working together, city leaders coordinating resources, and people showing up without needing recognition.

Recovery is still ongoing.

If you want to help, please follow the City of Mineral Wells and local nonprofit updates for the most current needs. Donation needs can change quickly, but monetary donations, gift cards, new bedding, new clothing, shelf-stable food, and organized volunteer help are some of the ways communities like this continue rebuilding after the first wave of attention fades.

This is a film about compassion after disaster.

This is Mineral Wells after the storm.

Special Thanks to The City Of Mineral Wells, Center Of Life, Gospel Light Baptist Church, New Haven Ministries, and RD Aerial Imaging for providing photos & footage. With out their help, I could not have made this film..

Mid-century modern homes have a way of feeling timeless without trying.

In this video I’m taking you inside a Wedgwood home in Fort Worth that’s been cared for the right way, not flipped, not “updated,” but preserved. The homeowners have kept the vibe true to the era, down to the color choices, furniture, and the small design details most people would overlook.

Wedgwood isn’t just another neighborhood on a map either. There’s a whole group working to protect the stories and character out here, and I’ll share a little about the Wedgwood Historical Association and why it exists.

If you love clean lines, warm brick, bold pops of color, and that 1950s optimism, you’re gonna enjoy this one.

Stick around to the end to hear the song I made for this video, it fits the vibe perfectly.
