Sad, Sad night tonight here in Arkansas. We had some very severe storms go right through the state with multiple tornadoes. The first one set down in a little town just about 15 miles SE of me. Just tore the town apart. Killed 3 people. Cars and 18 wheelers were blown over on Interstate 40 when the tornado went across. According to the TV news, it stayed on a path for 75 miles. Many cities and towns are without power and the temperature has dropped from around 70 degrees when the storms first hit to 45 right now about 3 hours later. We are SO lucky that we have power and all we got was alot of rain. My heart just goes out to all the people that got caught up in the storms and the tornadoes.
I am thankful that I have my big barn and all my outside animals, including all the barn cats were snug in the barn during the storm.

Life on an Arkansas farm. With 12 donkeys, 1 Arabian horse, 6 barn cats, 12 dogs, 2 house cats, and other assorted wildlife, perhaps I should call my blog "Life in an Arkansas Zoo". I'd like to share some of the day to day things that happen her
Im so glad you are ok. I will keep the others in my prayers. Storms terrify me which doesnt explain why I moved to Florida other than for health issues.
Lew .....Rainbow73 here from Arkansas Chat on Eons. I am so glad you are safe. It has been a horrible night all around and there is no telling what the morning will bring. I know it is massive devastation. I will keep everyone in my prayers. I changed to Dedesaunt on here because that is my screen name on most other sites that I am on, except for EONS.

I am very thankful both of you are okay. Living in Ohio I have always been afraid of tornadoes. With the thunderstorms booming the past 2 nights, I have not slept well. This area was in the brunt of the terrible flooding this past September. Schools are delayed, I75 southbound is closed, and I'm waiting to hear how the towns near to me are fairing. I am staying put, not going into work, til I learn more. Take care and again, my heart goes out to all that were hit by tornadoes.
