Glad you are all OK. Tornados can be bad, but those ammunition storms can be
worse'

yep, it hit at the next exit going south or north...my exit was fine. diana
just called me and said they are having to route traffic off of the interstate
due to flooding though...said they are rescuing folks by boat on the service
road.
here's the complete story
9:30p.m. my dad calls and says are you watching the weather...i say no
because i was watching the simpsons on the dvr. he says you better go to the
bathroom there's a tornado coming your way. so i turn on the weather and just
as i turn it on i hear dads scanner in the background going "OH SHIT I SEE IT
ON ALCOA RD." that's the exit north of me. so i figure i'm in the clear. then i
hear another voice saying we have a confirmed sighting at traskwood (exit south
of me) so we go to the bathroom with the dogs...i take care of some paper work
while in there. the sirens are going off the dogs are pissed because they spend
all day in the bathroom and don't want to be in there at night.
10:15 rolls around. sirens off no more storms but wait...the sirens go off
again...another one sighted at turtle creek (south of me) back to the bathroom
we go the dogs are growling, i think crap this is it. nothing so we go to bed
around 11:00p.m.
11:30pm i'm just about asleep diana is dreaming about being a weather girl
(that's what she told me anyway) and the sirens go off so we turn on the tv and
sure enough "if you live in the benton area take cover immediately" so off to
the bathroom we go again. the dogs are fighting this time. we sit there my mom
calls and checks on us my dad then calls and says take cover (duh).
midnight comes in. and i say screw it i want it to die in my sleep let's go
to bed.
diana just called me it's 8:25 she's moved 6 feet in the past 40 minutes due
to the flooding that lies ahead of her...i drove through the tornado damage
south of us this morning lots of trees down. it came real close but no cigar
(thank god)
thanks for being concerned guys. we're fine, let's just pray for the trailer
park that exploded in the tornado last night and has left 60 homes on fire with
live ammo going off amongst the blaze. (it's arkansas what can i say)
