Tornados!! In Arkansas!

We have had a tornado hit about 3 miles from my home. The way they are talking there maybe alot of people injured. My father in law is disabled and we almost didnt get him in the storm cellar, it was a job. Pray for all those hit. TY

Man, oh man ... I was just telling my BFF (again!) how I don't miss that weather!

Be safe ... and I'll say a prayer for everyone.

HUGz! Jules

Hoping everybody was spared and that the damage won't be great. It must be so frightening! Glad you are all safe!

Where at in Arkansas?? I have some family around Ft. Smith. I live in Oklahoma, and the weathermen have been talking about bad storms for today....I hope its not going to be a really rough spring.

I will be praying for those hit by the tornado.

It was in Little Rock about 30 minutes ago, I hope everyone stays safe. The weather is headed our way tonight.

Did you know they have something called evacutrac or an evacuchair to help get someone down stairs safely? I don't see the price (you have to request that info) but it might be worth checking into if you often have severe weather. I hope everyone is ok.

Stay safe!

I lived in Jonesboro for 3 years and know how rough that weather can be.

Hubby has an aunt in Jonesboro but, we haven't heard anything so no news is good news I hope.

I was in tears talking to my mom on the phone. She was at an auction in Bryant when the first round hit. Lots of damage everywhere.

All the flooding that has been going on........no time to dry out. Now tornados with more rain. Arkansas is in horrible shape right now.

Oh my!! I know just where that auction is! Very close to where the tornado hit. Was everyone okay?

Everyone was fine. They all waited it out under mattresses there. Thank goodness that auction has a lot of mattresses at most auctions. They all left inbetween the first and second tornados.

It was pretty bad here lastnight, (Southwest Arkansas). Lots of rain, which flooded streets, hail, and the power was out about 6 hours. I know they had to evacuate some residents that live by the river. Hopefully mother nature will ease up on us. Stay safe!

Please stay safe, everyone!

Miki was telling me about the tornados and bad weather out there. I pray no one was injured or killed.

I'm heading to MS in two weeks to see Miki. I hope we have dry weather. I don't remember ever going there that it didn't rain or storm real bad.

Scary. I like California more and more earthquakes and all.

You haven't been through a major storm here which is good. The problem is most of your visits have been filled with mainly rainy days. *sigh* Crossing fingers and praying good weather comes while you are here. This is the peak of Tornado season out here though so it won't surprise me if we see more rain. I love rain but, it's raining wayyyy too much lately.
