storm damage

Medusa · 04-26-2011, 08:59 AM

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

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

Just saw on the Weather Channel where the levee in Poplar Bluff just breached.

My thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by these storms as well as the fires in the west.

Oh damn. They were supposed to be evacuated already and hopefully nobody stayed behind.

The opposite side breached this time, so many were still in their homes. They are trying to rescue folks now.

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

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Where would I put more rain?!

I think it ended up we had 7 - 8 in over 3 days.

Not nearly as bad as others, but bad enough.

Driving home after work night before last was... well... lets just say, I discovered exactly how flooded everything was.

Cowboi · 04-26-2011, 05:23 PM

I talked to Casey this afternoon. She and Tammy had some damage, but they are ok.

moxie · 04-26-2011, 07:10 PM

There are currently tornadoes all over KY, some with softball-sized hail. And the worst storms coming through overnight.

Flooding all over the state. Governor declared a State of Emergency for the whole state on Sunday. Ohio River has been above flood stage since January and they are evacuating so many places along the river. Quite a bit of downtown Louisville by the river is flooded. Rain is to continue through Wednesday night, stop for two days and start again.

Be careful everyone. People are driving through flooded areas thinking it's hardly anything and getting swept away.

Cowboi · 04-26-2011, 08:33 PM

Here we go... I live in north Louisiana. Just issued, a severe thunderstorm warning for our area, with strong winds and large hail. Possible tornados. Guess me and Scout will be ready to tuck and cover.

justkim · 04-26-2011, 08:36 PM

Be safe everyone! Try to check in as often as possible please and thank you.

Blade · 04-26-2011, 08:42 PM

Radar looks like Nashville is fixing to get into the big storm. In all of the excitement with Arkansas last night I didn't realize until this morning that Texas was getting hammered too.

Cowboi · 04-26-2011, 09:00 PM

Tornado warning now....gonna go for now.
