Hey All,
I thought I'd better check in this morning. I'm sure some of you have seen
the news about the wicked storms we had out here last night. Everything is
fine at my house. The storm that created the tornado went north and east of
my town. We got gusts of wind up to 60 mph, and lightning like you would
not believe. But that's all that storm did here. The one that rolled
through later, around 1:30 am, dumped a lot of rain here. (we need the rain
though so no complaints there.) A few tree branches down around the
neighborhood, but that's all.
The tornadoes were on the ground in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. So the
damage is spread out all over. From all the news reports I've seen for my
area of AR, there was property damage but no major injuries. They were
saying on the morning news that no one had to go to the hospital even though
there were several houses north of me that were totally destroyed. I feel
terrible for the folks that lost houses, but so grateful that they were all
right physically.
Pat, sing out when you can. I know the nasty stuff was a lot closer to you
than me. Hope all is well up there with you.
Sharon

Hi Sharon---------so glad you are OK. The tornado went about 4 miles
south of us in Bennnntonville-----too close!!!
We got the high winds, hail, and sheets of rain.....no damage that I
know of except for one house up here that was unlucky enough to have a
tree fall on it.........no injuries.
A watchful night..........but all is well.

Sharon, I was thinking of both you and Pat when I saw the news, so am very
happy to know you are okay. Since I am not familiar with AR, I am not
certain where either of you live.

Thanks CypSew...........appreciate the thoughts....... Sharon and I
live about 20 miles apart.....we are in the North West corner of
Arkansas. I am about 2 miles from the Missouri state line, and Sharon
is 20 miles (or so) south of me........It went right between
us..........

Glad you both are fine. Storms like the ones in your area are so
devastating.
