Friday's Tornado Outbreak

As predicted, the severe weather never happened in the Natural Sate last week. All that we experienced on Friday was a breezy wind and abnormally warm temperatures.

On the other hand, states to the east of Arkansas endured a massive tornado outbreak.





It is now said that over 100 tornadoes touched down from Alabama to Southern Indiana.  The worst hit area was Henryville, IN where an EF-4 tornado ravaged the town and leaving the high school building in ruins.


All of this incredible damage came from an intense area of low pressure that started in our background and raced toward the Great Lakes.  Meanwhile, a large supply of gulf moisture spread throughout the Tennessee and Ohio Valley providing for an endless fuel for these intense storms to fire up.

At this stage, Arkansas dodged a huge bullet in March but the season is just getting started...
