SE Arkansas needs your prayers

[Froggyswife]

Earlier this evening SE arkansas where I live was hit by more than 10 tornados. The town of Dumas Arkansas is completly gone! The town of Strong Arkansas has had a lot of damage. Tornados hit the following towns.

Junction City
Strong
North Crossett (I live in south Crossett)
Hamburg
Dumas
Monticello

In Louisianna

Bossior City
Monroe
Junction City ( border town so on both sides of the state line)

Our house was missed by a mere 5 miles. I am very blessed tonight. Please keep these areas in your prayers and thoughts. It is just a sad day all around today.

Prayers being said for yall. I've got extended family in the area. Take care and be safe.

An area not so far from where I grew up. I am thinking of them all.

I just got home so I didn't see the local news at 6pm. Wow! My heart goes out to everyone affected. We were lucky in NW Arkansas - only rain.

Glad you are ok, Froggyswife and family. Whew!

You would think that there would be more news about this. All I see on the news channels is Anna Nicole Smith stuff. Geez!

 

[SwedishMeatball]

I saw that on the news earlier and thought of you guys. So glad to hear that you all are safe.

 

[SillyMe]

Glad you're okay.

If you can get KATV channel 10 out of monroe and el dorado you will get the news on us down here in SE escape. Don't know if you all get that up there on the local channels on cable or dish.

And yeah I am about tired of the anna nicole smith thing too. I mean really bury the poor woman already.

some of the areas hit are really depressed areas anyway, i think all the highways are reopened now, but at one point they had us 82 closed at our city limits to the west for 50 miles, still not much on how much damage is in our immediate area,

katv out of little rock had some coverage of the dumas area, but not of anything further south.

OMG, I'm so glad you posted this. I have an elderly cousin in Dumas. My mom is trying to call him now to check on him.

We can get the LR channels here. I guess they will show more on the 10 o'clock news.

Glad you guys are safe. Unfortunately, this is only the beginning of the season.

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

Hope all are safe and remain that way.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. ((HUGS))

We are supposed to have some more storms thursday. I pray we don't get more tornados.
