I think we are done in this area tonight though more storms this week. AS I type a tornado warning issued for the Rogers-Springdale area of Arkansas. That's about 65 miles south of us (I play hockey in Springdale every week). |
From CNN...89 confirmed dead and counting. Just an indicator of how big this thing was....
