Mena, Arkansas. Yet ANOTHER name we haven’t heard since the Clintons were President. How weird.

Local news says major damage in down town Mena. Headed for Glenwood...then Hot Springs...then little rock.

I was on a backpacking trip in the Ozarks several years ago and at one point we were about 25 miles from Mena. I remember hearing airplanes all night long.

The tornado sirens are blasting away here in East Texas (Longview). One was sighted north of here so this is a pretty bad storm.

Did you sense any second-hand euphoria?

Sounds like an F3 at minimum.

Everybody watch out and stay safe.

Fortunately, for the Minerals in SW AR the clouds have split to our north and south leaving us with much ado about very little. I am a storm rider, but no fan of tornadoes, but the elder Mrs. Mineral is very much a hide in the closet type.

5 to 6 people trapped Masonic Lodge in Mena. Extensive damage to the Court house.

DeQueen Arkansas took a hit as well.

Storms still firing up.

Well I was thinking more like exposing all that paperwork, Sandy the Burglar stole out of the National Achieves. AND the actual literal donors list.

Clinton's cocaine supply blanketed the town with a coating of soft white powder...

Wouldn't mind the Clinton Liebrary, except we're only a few miles from that :(

I never realized you were in Arkansas.

My sincere condolences!

...as though I have any room to talk, Mr. Franken.

Cheers!
