Post by: bbs80 on December 31, 2010, 02:33:47 pm
woke up by the sound of thunder,roar of wind and a 20 mile path of damaged 3 people died this morning here in north west Arkansas, they had to close the airport because what was left of a house was on the runway from 20 miles away. on the lighter side i had no damage but there are family's that need prayers.

Good God!!  I guess that gives a new meaning to the term, "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more..."

Sounds like a low number for fatalities, hopefully the number won't rise.  Life's day-to-day troubles simply don't seem like a big problem once put into perspective.

For some reason I have had at least 20 + dreams of tornado's hunting me down and we almost never get em here.... That would just totally suck to have everything essentially vaporized like that.

the same system this morning sent a tornado to Fort Leonard Wood MO. where my nephew begins basic training for the Army next week.

News just said 3 died 9 in icu they were all farmers a 78 year old
man was milking his cows yes the same system in fort Len two died there and two just outside of springfeld mo, the one that hit here was a f-3 100yds wide, the little town is more less gone , I own a mobile home dealership and move mobiles, two were killed in one then the farmers milk barn was gone he the showed his hour less then a 100 feet away it was a mobile home and it was fine. I don't care what kind of house, stick built or mobile home if a tornado wants it, it's gone. They found a bible from some ones house in the front yard of somebodys house 45 miles away. It's funny what mother nat can do

I was there for 6 months. but on that note, vile i have also had many dreams about tornadoes, but oddly enough, they seem to go around or over me. Several instances of the storms being within 30 minutes or the funnel jumping our house or school.  Odd
