So far a big nothing here in southwest Arkansas. According to the Weather Channel we should have been destroyed a dozen times over today. I don’t want to be destroyed even once, but the Weather Channel folks are a bit much.
KY3 TV (Springfield MO) website is reporting 2 dead in Quapaw OK
Tornado hits Joplin MO area
Baxter Springs KS has storm damage
It’s not the Weather Channel...they are just reporting that Arkansas was in the HIGH RISK today...I think based on the last several years of tornado disasters they want to make sure the word gets out...it looks like you dodged a bullet. It looks like outflow from the mornings storms may have impacted the severity of the storms that formed in the afternoon. The parameters were there for violent tornadoes. This is/was a tough forecast...
Looks like the storm west of Little Rock just went tornado warned...
