2. Puckering up here in Fayetteville, AR....
although the very serious stuff is happening to our south. Tennis ball hail, flash flooding and rotation clouds....just a part of what Texas and Oklahoma give us each spring.

8. Headed right for us..
in DFW. I got in bed in my clothes, ready to run to the storm shelter if need be.

Luckily, the tornado sirens are right next to my house and those things would wake Rip Van Winkle.

4. I think we've had some hail the last three visits to Ponca.

And, I'll keep going too.

5. Fort Smith, AR. The tornado sirens have gone off twice tonight, but no
reports of touchdown. Large hail, up to golf ball size reported. Broken windows, street flooding being reported. Schools will be closed tomorrow due to broken windows in many of them. It's going to be an all nighter from the looks of things. Just rain for right now, but I'm keeping the flashlight and battery radio next to my bed tonight.

Yikes!
Stay safe. My family is all over that area. Personally, I'll take LA's earthquakes.
