Fayetteville under siege

For the uninitiated, Fayetteville, Arkansas is where my sister and brother-in-law live and work.  This drama started shortly after 6:30 local time, with this hideous radar.  Both of the red polygons in this screenshot had confirmed tornadoes. 

The northern storm prompted this headline, which did not fill Mama or me with enthusiasm. 

As usual, my fur niece Louise gave zero effs.  My sister says Louise hates bad weather, but here she's chill...unlike the TV!

More Louise.  Y'all wouldn't know that she's really a psycho.

A very loved psycho, though!  She may not like me, but I like her!  

Not long after sending that picture Sister told Mama that they were crating Louise and making for University of Arkansas campus (after Louise finished taking a dump, LOL).  That's better shelter than the second-floor apartment where they live.  Apartment buildings are not the safest places to ride out tornadoes.  And right as we were receiving word that they'd arrived at campus, we get THIS headline.  Storm was headed right for campus. 

Sister says that the campus has a shelter, and that's where they hid as the south side of Fayetteville got clobbered. 

Their apartment is sadly in the path, and Brother-in-law says that the tornado is headed straight for the building.  Thank God they left.  I must say, crap like this is NOT what I like to see.

Please pray for Fayetteville, and for Fort Smith as well.  They too are in the path of a tornado. 

Yours truly,
