At least 3 at a 7-11 and a three month old baby so far.

More to come, I'm sure.

Good luck bro. The bad part looks to be over Prairie Grove right now, heading to the NW towards Fayetteville.

Sirens didn't go off at my place on Wedington. Heavy wind and rain with some pea size hail is all so far.

It happens every time. Fayetteville Fizzle.

We are surrounded by elevation changes. I think there's been one tornado recorded in the city of Fayetteville, and it was a small spin-up that hit right on the town square in the 1800s or something.

Springfield just got slammed by a scary tstorm with hail and high winds, but no tornadoes. I hope the worst is over.

Prayers to the Oklahoman families who lost children and loved ones.

Be watchful and vigilant Arkansas/Missouri brothers and sisters...

there was a decent circulation when it passed over Siloam.

Joplin's fine. Storms seem to be breaking up when they enter SEC country. There are some strengthening as the enter Big Ten Country from NE Missouri, though.

I'm holding tight at the BWW in Ft. Smith. It's either there or my hotel room. I feel safer close to the beer taps. But, I know this is no joking matter.

Wife and kids are at home in Branson and I'm on the road for meetings. Not a good time to be out.

I hope your wife and kids have good shelter and I wish them the best. Any news about what they received yet?
