avguytx Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Stay safe central Arkansan friends. Tornado sirens just went off in our town and we are watching things here. Searcy schools had already taken precautions so I'm sure I'll hear about it later from my 6th grade boy. It's moving northeast so everyone in that area keep a heads up, too.

HDBRbuilder Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I'm in Jonesboro...we'll probably get that same cell in 30 minutes or so...lots of hook echoes in it!...looking at the radar map! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 Yep. Just saw Channel 11 say there was one fairly close to you guys up there. Batten the hatches! Well, be prepared, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If empty it would be a good place to jump in for a tornado, anything underground level is better than above. I say this because one time my wife's cousin was here and she is always worried about tornados even in just light rain. She asked where do we go if there is a tornado, so I told her to run out the back door and look for the cement top with a metal handle, slide it over and jump in. later she asked me what was it, she wasn't impressed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, be prepared, anyway. That first one that hit your area is about to hit us, but mostly from the south side of town, running right across it to the north-east...lots of rotation in that one...counterclockwise...not looking like fun to me! The one that went north of you is now due north of us!...with its big brother right below it, with a gap between them both! The lower big brother with all that rotation in it will run right over Jonesboro...dead center!...maybe 15-20 minutes from now! I'm sure it will have the sirens on for us, too!

Yeah, they had said earlier that area was where the warnings were originally thought to be but I guess they decided to drop in earlier in this area before arriving there. About 12:30, it just kind of showed up. Be safe up there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Don't you guys get a tornado warning about every three days? You should have something to get to the safe room fast. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
