Bad Storms through Texas, Arkansas

[Syn]

I'm not sure if this is the right place but, I just wanted everyone to know we had some pretty bad storms here a tornado touched down with a 1/2 mile (.8 km) damage path causing major damage. No reports of any dead but there are some injured I'm sure there will be a lot more reported as of tomorrow. Admin lock if you want/have to I just wanted everyone to know so they can keep the families in there prayers as we do have a lot of AFOLS here in the States and I'm not sure if anyone was hurt or not that frequents this forum. I'm ok a little shook up but Ok. thanks

Yep. I live in the Northeastern part of Arkansas, and we're getting that storm that produced the tornado in central Arkansas. No rotation now, just some hail, rain, thunder, and lightening. I'll be sure to keep all of my fellow Arkansan Afols in my prayers, along with the Texans.

Best of luck to you both.

We didn't have much here in Garland TX, but we did have a TON of rain. I think we got like 5".

[Sisco]

Yeah, 5 inches sounds about right. My relatives in the bootheel of Missouri got almost a foot of rain; the flooding in Poplar Bluff is tremendous! My grandmother was pushed out of her house when the levee broke... We expect her house to either have major flooding, or be washed away.

Yep, lots of wind and rain here. Brace yourselves my fellow southerners. May your LEGOs be safe but most importantly, your friends and families. (my first off LEGO post)

I live in Florida, it's gonna pour a lot this week, but we've never had major flooding or anything severe. I hope our Texan members are alright.

Torrential rain here. 8 inches at my house total. High speed winds, there're a few trees snapped. The levee on the Dan River broke, leaving my grandmother's house ruined. She's staying with some other relatives. The whole Baxter County area is underwater, basically. There have been quite a few drowning deaths.

My Uncle, who lives in the area that was devastated by the tornado yesterday; his house is destroyed. He's staying at his mother-in-law's house.

No one bunking at my house yet, but it's almost to that point. Just a horrible situation all around.

Can't wait for the break Thursday and Friday!

Be safe, SFOL's. (Southern Fans of Lego)

Well, I think its passed here. Good luck to the rest of you!

There was a tornado about ten minutes ago a mere fifteen miles South in Jonesboro. High wind warning here at home, so I'm camping out in the hall.

I think that we can all Breath easier tonight, as I'm not seeing anything and the forecast is nothing but partly cloudy skys low of 45 here. Finally I'll be able to sleep tonight.

HUGE tornado ripped through Birmingham, Alabama. Destroyed hundreds if not thousands of homes and businesses, and killed 179 people.

Just heard on the news that about 300 people were killed in it.. Kinda glad I don't live there, but really bummed for those who do.

Take care SFOL's, the South will rise again!!
