Where in AR does Wes live??

On the other side of the state

 

[bwalk]

It is continuing to intensify as it leaves Jonesboro based on the past few SRV radar scans.

 

[TornadoFan]

Brookland, AR is gonna take a direct hit.

 

[BayouWeatherGeek]

Screenshots I took of it. OMG.

It looks almost exactly like the Tuscaloosa tornado. What a beast.

 

[Equus]

Most unbelievable live footage since Tuscaloosa... Holy crap.

 

[akt1985]

The Jonesboro tornado was also shown live on The Weather Channel via the ARDOT camera.

It's not slowing down whatsoever.

 

[warneagle]

It probably passed close to the hospital on the northeast side of Jonesboro if it didn't hit it directly.

 

[jules]

Grabbed a screenshot as well. That is some intense debris, and the TV mets are pointing out how many cars are on the road the tornado is about to cross.

 

[TornadoFan]

The TDS is HUGE on the latest scan! Right over Brookland!

 

[champal3003]

Huge debris signature right over Brookland.

 

[Kory]

Just several hundred miles removed from the PDS watch.

Huge debris signature right over Brookland.
