See, I told you I'd do it as soon as I got out for the summer. :3

Sorry about the poor quality. It was the best I could do. For now.

General Weather Chat / Storms in Arkansas

« on: May 01, 2010, 12:53:39 PM »

We had some pretty bad storms last night. My boyfriend and I were hanging around in town, but I was keeping in touch with the family, watching out for the weather. I was in Russellville outside of the Picwood Theater when the tornado sirens went off, so I think they let us in early because of that.

When I left the theater (by the way, How to Train Your Dragon was a cute movie) I decided not to go straight home. My Grandma wasn't answering her phone (landline), and my dad's phone rang once and sent me straight to voice mail (cellphone). I knew they were in the storm cellar.

There was a radar indicated tornado in the Nimrod area, which is close to my "second home", Plainview, so we went to iHop. No damage was reported in that area.

It was thought at first that 3 people died in the storms, but they are now reporting one fatality and 23 injuries. Thank God.

There is a whole slew of damage reports from Arkansas. Someone reported hail for the Russellville area.
