Location: California | It was pretty nasty out by us for quite a while. Between the dirt causing no visibility and the wind blowing the clouds so fast, it was definitely erie! Praying for everyone still in the path of these storms and everyone that has been affected!!! |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | I think people were driving by it oblivious because they don't take the time to educate themselves about tornadoes, and without education, many people can't tell the difference between a mile wide F3 tornado and a bunch of clouds...... |

Thanks. The bad stuff was 100 miles north of us, but my sister lives about 2 miles from Mayflower, so we were freaking out there for a little bit. |

Yikes!!!! That is TOOOOOO close for comfort. I have a couple of friends that live up toward Vilonia and i'm praying they're ok. I've tried to check in, but haven't heard back yet. This weather is so scary. Hubby and the dogs and I spent about an hour in the closet a couple weeks ago. Glad your sister is ok!!!!!!!! |

I wrote a note on her FB but haven't heard anything. The news isn't saying much about that area, but it's possible they have no electricity. |

Oh my goodness....prayers for everyone impacted. Some of ya'll may know this but the weather channel will post up to the second updates on their twitter feed when tornadoes are on the ground. They post much quicker on twitter than they do on TV. And they give specific locations ,etc way before it makes it to the news.
