Can you correct this? The headline should read Southwest Missouri.

SW. I asked the mods to correct it. Caught it just as I posted.

The station keeps losing its signal.

We’re getting rain here now. The first warning was just issued in NW Arkansas. This system is moving up from Oklahoma.

They’re saying that 25 head of cattle were killed by one of the storms.

Add Northern Stone County and Northern Wright county. I don’t know the area — just regurgitating the NWS reports.
