The weather gods are angry. Gore and Edwards need to give up their mansions.
we had a record high today in East Tennessee....
steep temperature gradient = bad news
It's still going on..
Now reporting Major damage to buildings in Gassville near mountain home.
There are three confirmed deaths in Pottsville, which is near Atkins in Pope County and several reports of damage in the area. Tune to KARK Channel 4 for more information on numerous Tornado Warnings in Arkansas. Tornado Touchdowns have been reported; stay with KARK for more information.

This front is fast-moving. That helps.
However, as it moves eastward (toward eastern Arkansas), it is picking up warm gulf moisture. With warm temps, that is causing the instability.
This front will be dangerous (possible tornados and high wind) as it moves east-northeast until midnight.
Those ahead of the front may be in for a bad night of storms.
***Cleveland, Atkins, Gentry, 2 miles East of Hamburg... ***
From interstate 40 Atkins north east to Clinton...That puts it over the aandoned farm of my wife’s family.
Gentry is no where near this area. It is in NW Ark. According to the map it might have sustained wind damage.
We were in Fayetteville today when it hit. Lots of rain more rain and still more rain.
Now I see Bartlett, Tenn is catching it! My brother-in-law lives there. A call to them showed they were not even aware they were under a tornado warning.
