A good friend's family lost their home last night in Mena. his brother also lost his home due to the storm. Fortunately, none of them were hurt, but the reports are coming out that there were 30+ injuries and 3 fatalities.

He was my roommate at UCA for several years, and he braved the storm last night to drive home to help his family. Please keep all folks in Mena, DeQueen and other areas hit by the storms last night in your prayers.

Will do. I was working last night in Russellville when it hit there. Dang near pelted to death with hail before I could find cover. There were 70 mph winds for about 30 minutes where I was. I had to take refuge in a chicken freezer plant where they keep the temp around 10 degrees. Liked to froze to death in my short sleeve shirt.

I guess sometimes being an office jock has its benefits. :wink:

Yeah, I guess sometimes it does

Glad you made it to cover, HB. Some of that hail last night got pretty big from what I saw.
