Little Rock Tornado
It’s hard to sleep when the civil defense sirens keep going off. Last night they went off on two different occasions here in North Little Rock. Here’s why: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,346293,00.html
The National Weather Service for central Arkansas actually had to stop issuing bulletins for a while, because the tornado passed directly over their offices. The tornado actually disappeared from radar because it was passing directly over the radar. Several people were injured in the LR/NLR area; but, so far, no reported deaths.
The pictures on the Fox news website are really good (my excuse for looking at the Fox news website). As you can tell, it wasn’t a huge tornado like the one that hit Atkins, Clinton, Gassville, etc. But it still provides plenty of opportunity for local weathermen to scare everyone to death.
