Severe weather in Arkansas

Straight line winds and tornadoes moved through Arkansas today. Atkins has 3 fatalities and quite a few injuries. James and I are both originally from Pope County (James=London, me=Dover) and we both have family in the area. My brother-in-law works at St. Mary's hospital in Rsvl and the last I knew from my sister at around 5:30 pm was that they had brought in 4 ambulances with injuries from the Atkins tornado. Very tough for that area, it's becoming a suburb of Russellville but it still is a fairly depressed/poorer town. This will be tough to recover from for the residents. Was also checking on a local news channel website and they're reporting that another town was completely leveled. James had stopped at our house to vote in the primary and run at the gym and while he was home the storm system came through our area. No damage in our neighborhood. It always seems like these winter tornadoes do more damage. That's probably not true but that's the way it feels. Anyway, our thoughts are definitely with everybody in the areas hit.
