TORNADO hit town tonight!!
A tornado just hit my town of Gassville, AR tonight. Over 100 homes have been destroyed, many of them just leveled. My sister in law and her family were in their mobile home at a big trailer park. Their Suburban was thrown into the side of the home and it was knocked over about 8 feet off it's foundation. They are all OK other than shaken up. Most of their stuff is gone. Most of the other homes in the park were totally demolished and at least 1 woman has died. They are using a nearby school as a shelter, and have evacuated the whole town (1500 people) because of downed power lines, and natural gas leaks. We're going to try to go to their house tomorrow to retrieve anything not ruined. That is, if the authorities let us in town. I'll have my camera to take pics. I'll keep you updated.
UPDATE: The authorities finally let us down there after lunch today. Thanks for everyones thoughts and kind words for everybody involved in this bad run of storms. Here are some pics of my in-laws home, and some others.
