Storms

These pictures were taken by me to show some of the damage from storms that have been ravaging Arkansas the past couple of months.  It is by no means diminishing the loss that anyone has suffered. My heart breaks for each and every person that has been affected. 

Tornadoes have been occurring frequently and with large intensity in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas and Alabama among other states.  Joplin, Missouri is only about an hours drive from where I live. 

Last night we had multiple tornados in our state.  One caused significant damage and death in Denning, Arkansas.  Other towns affected by these tornados were Clarksville, Etna, Lamar, and Roseville.  Schools were out in these areas today due to loss of power, debris and downed power lines.

These pictures are from between Webb City, AR and Roseville, AR (for those of you familiar with the area! ;-)) 

Right now, there are tornados on the ground in eastern Arkansas.  Hearing of all the deaths from these storms is truly heartbreaking.  It puts my stress in perspective knowing that in a blink of an eye, all of my stuff could be completely gone.
