FYI: Mayflower is the little town just south of Conway which recently was severely impacted by an oil spill due to a break in a little-known but aging pipeline which ran right through people's backyards. The booms were still in place in adjacent Lake Conway when I was there in February.

These folks certainly don't need to be hit by another disaster.

KATV (in Little Rock) is live-streaming weather coverage right now. So far, only one fatality (in Mayflower) has been reported, but that's too many.

Vilonia & Mayflower Tornado IMO will be EF3 + Likely EF4. Governor saying widespread damage and injuries.

Destruction path... we're just in the way unfortunately. I wonder when those homes were built.
