I think you are right, cuz it sure looks ugly on the radar.

N Little Rock declared state of emergency. Several tornados reported. Stay in the closet Jack

They are saying the high winds and stuff are moving on toward Memphis:praying:

Little Rock and the rest of Arkansas are getting it bad! I hope everyone stays safe.

Looking at the radar, the worst of it is past you now; Still some heavy rain, but the line with the yellow/red storm indications is East of Little Rock now. A few more hours of heavy rain to go. Hang in there!

I never thought I'd see anyone tell Jack to stay in the closet...but I haveta' agree.

The whole state is torn up. A city 3 miles south of us was completely leveled. Please send positive thoughts to the families who are without power or with damaged homes tonIght. :(

That's awful news about the tornadoes. We'll keep Arkansas in our thoughts. Very glad to hear you're ok!

Will do, glad to hear you guys are ok and safe.

Wow wow....

This storm cell is unreal. I was so glad to come to this thread and see at least some of the people posting and they are ok.

Jack and Medusa can you make it mandatory that people let us know they are ok? LOL just kidding but gosh it's hard not knowing if our folks are alright. I hope more that are in the storm, yesterdays and today's, will come in and say...I'm ok!!!!

Sweet, ty for making this thread...you are precious and it's wonderful!!!!

Knoxville got hit with a strange "fast storm" yesterday afternoon. It was fine outside one second...the next it was black as night, trees laying over, hail, scarier than i could have imagined.

Tons of trees down and debris everywhere. I really thought it was a tornado and am shocked it wasn't. I was without power from 2 yesterday afternoon until just about 30 minutes ago. There are still 40,000 without power here and they say problems with most traffic lights not working.

Still, nothing compared to what Arkansas got....my heart and prayers to all of you all there and the rest of the nation that is in the "red zone". Still more coming i see on tv.

Grab something and hang on tight!!!!!

ps. I should have listened to Jack and others on another thread about preparing for such things. I couldn't find my flashlight last night and just had a couple of small candles. First thing this morning i went to the store and stocked up. It IS important to be prepared

It's daylight here and we are all finally able to see the damage.

Several people were killed and injured last night. Lots of homes destroyed and the town of Vilonia was almost completely leveled. We have another round of storms heading this way today but hopefully it will not get further north than projected or the same towns are going to get hit again.

Anyone wishing to donate can text 90999 to the Red Cross and it will send an automatic $10 donation to them through your cell bill.

There are a few of us going over on our lunch breaks to deliver water and supplies to those residents. All schools closed, several businesses closed. Roads are barely passable down there.

Please be sending positive thoughts, or if you pray, pray hard for the families who are digging out from the devastation.

Much love to all. xo

anyone heard from wolfy?..:phonegab:... i'm glad to hear all in the line of fire are ok..

I don't think Wolfy's area in Oklahoma had any storms that were damaging. I'll text!

We're about 4 hrs north of LR.

There were several tornadoes in close by towns.

We haven't been hit bad.

Flooding is a bitch though.

We get a break today, hopefully. Supposedly. Then it storms some more.

Thoughts out to everyone who got hit
