Sad for the people in my hometown of Little Rock. A tornado did catastrophic damage to the northwest part of the city, which is where I’m originally from. A shopping center at Rodney Parham Rd. and I-430 suffered heavy damage. About 500 were said to have been injured.
I monitored the weather on WREG yesterday. Shout-out to Tim Sampson and Jim Jaggers for a stellar job.
