Tornado outbreak

Been a heckuva day, we were very lucky. i watched and heard three naders get close and real close today. First one i heard to the west of us and it was loud, then soon after another one went to the east of us. and then i watched one form right in front of me probably 100 yards and like in a second it developed into a funnel cloud and the trees across the street were blowing one way and the ones in my yard the other way.

It hit a produce place that grows vegetables and fruit to sell. it wiped out their fields. the one that went east of me was about 500 yards away, musta been a small one. it did hit a power plant and did some damage and mostly trees around. it may have done more but i didn’t follow the path very far.

The one to west of me was a big one, it was about 1/8 mile from me, i heard it coming and it wiped out a small community and i mean wiped it out. i didn’t go through the whole place, they wouldn’t let you go down if you didn’t live there. It is a mess up there. we had no power for several hours and i really don’t see how we have any now.

But it wasn’t just us, a monster one wiped out west little rock. it was huge. several places in Arkansas got hit. They don’t know all the damage yet and injuries. only heard of one killed so far and if that sticks i would be shocked. i figured more than that got killed up the road and they may have.

After seeing that damage i called the son to come get my ginny out and hook up the fridge and freezer, after seeing all the power lines and poles snapped and lines all over i just knew we wasn’t going to get power for a while. guess our power comes from a different way cause there will be no power there for a while.

This is about the worse i been through far as having so many so close. they have come close here before but not three in a row. been a very stressful day. We were very lucky a whole lot of people here wasn’t.

Stay safe BF
 
As a follow up over the last 7 days there have been two severe storms in Kentucky with major weather throughout the area including Jefferson County where I live, the news has reported 5 EF-1 tornado’s have touched down in my general area (12 mile radius)
With one as close as 5 miles away…..
“as the crow flies”
Wednesdays night storm included 45 minutes of the local tornado warning siren which is 1 mile from my apartment making for a very nervous time.

Really glad you and yours survived.
I lived in the North Little Rock area for about 14 years (2007 - 2021) and still have martial arts students and friends there. They are all fine thank God.

Most people from Arkansas are great. They will get past all this. Plus football season is around the corner, Go Hogs Go...:)

Again, glad you and yours are ok..:)
