Live report. A long tonadic system just passed through here pounding us with hail nickle to baseball size (in Pea Ridge by the battlefield)The wind was unbelieveable all day long and about 9:30 pm bombastic lightning and the hailing began. Several tonados touched down in towns that are familiar to some of you that have been reading this blog these last months. Gentry, Holiday Island and Garfield. One really bad one out in Centerton where friends live and frankly I fully expected one to break over us. I run in to tell Woody who is laying on the bed and ask him to help me to round up the cats, as the tonado warning is screaming on the weater station and he says nothing to me but just looks at me like a deer in the headlights...
"I dont see why you are so concerned? We live in the hils and tonados dont come here."
I said a few unpleasent things to him about his inability to lead and next time I will leave him to get smashed by the storm, me and the cats will get in the closet.
I am so mad at him and feel like I just want to pop him one... Bella Vista will have a tornado a mini one in my front room!!!
Its calm now... There are reports of injuries and another twister out at the crossing near where my job is... that would be the limit, if "thisplace" gets hit... I wont be able to see if we have damage until morning.... more tomorrow.
Lets see if I can calm down enough to go to bed I have a big day tomorrow
