OT Checking in

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.

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. Emily

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..........

Hi, Sharon!

I'm glad to know you're okay. Have you heard from Elaine lately? It looked as though there were more tornadoes heading through that area again yesterday, too.

Our niece and her husband live in Lawrence, Kansas, about a mile from the campus of KU, which sustained a lot of damage. Just heard from them that they had no damage at all.

Thank you so much. (I'm glad too. It was pretty nerve wracking last night. Whew!)

Have you heard from Elaine lately? It

Oh no! Another tornado is the last thing they need over there! I've not heard from her today. I'll send her an email in just a bit though. (She will be worried too, bless her heart.)

Oh my gosh! They said on our evening news that all classes were called off there today. I'm so glad your niece and nephew in law are ok!

I hope that's all it does out there. :)
