    I don't have much in the way of links at the moment but am gathering quickly.

    Severe weather has fired in AR through MO into IL this PM and our local Police Dept has sent warnings to be on alert for tornados as well.

    Here are several places you can go visit on Google.

    Storm Prediction Center

    National Weather Service

    Your local weather NOAA Radar, type in your city and zip and you will have your nearest NOAA Live radar presented to you.

    A variety of news media who stream live radar during bad Events days.

    Im not going to post much in this thread unless a town, city gets destroyed and other issues.

    Good luck wherever you are.

    Ok We have a tornado coming up on Mayflower near Paron as I type this. This will be the first warning of the day. I happen to be in the path eventually so... we will see.

    This includes the following highways...
    Interstate 40 between mile markers 126 and 144.
    Interstate 430 between mile markers 9 and 12.

    We had a EF 4 destroy mayflower, wreck 40 traffic and vilona not too long ago. It's setting up for a third run at our area again just like the last two.

    Wierd. That's a lot of severe weather that far north this early in the tornado season. Usually around this time it's between I-10 and I-20.
