Say a prayer for us here in Arkansas... my best friend and his entire family lives in Vilonia and his grandparents got completely wiped out. 60-70 missing in vilonia alone when i woke up this morning. Tornados all over the place last night. my family in hot springs didn't get any damage but everyone is out of school today because of power outages and trees across the road. say a quick prayer. supposed to be bad/if not worse tonight.

    hey fellas. thanks for the prayers. only 4 people were killed in vilonia, and that is a miracle. if this would have happened in the middle of the night, you could put it into the 100s. if you have facebook you can see the pictures i took today. Facebook

    King,

    Glad to hear all is not as bad as it could have been.

    I've been away for the last 3 days tending to properties. If I ever see a shop vac again it will be too soon!

    Who the hell would have ever thought that on top of the Ozark Plateau that we would have flooding and softball size hail? I'v got two Land Rovers that are a complete total loss and untold property damage to my office and a house I'm renovating. However, nobody was hurt and nothing like Vilonia got hit with.

    Bad news is it is still raining, and all this weather is heading to Kentucky where it will be up in the air if anyone can get on the track in the next few days. It looks like the ones who stayed in Lexington are the smart ones(Animal Kingdom) as at least they can work on the poly.

    BTW, I'm sick and fucking tired of cleaning up debris so I will look for a good play today at Keeneland!

    I just heard that Roy Oswalt left the Phillies because of the tornados. He has a home and family in Mississippi.
