Hope everyone makes it safe. It's sad but this earth is not safe any longer!
What do you mean "any longer" It's as safe now as it always has been.
It'd take it a step up--we're safer than we were years ago. Gotta love these people who always think the world is ending. Disaster is a part of life. This is a dynamic place.
Nowhere do I see a "confirmed" tornado; just a tornado warning – a severe tstorm capable of producing one.
No, moron, a tornado warning means they have spotted one, a tornado watch means the conditions are right. Get your facts straight.
@ kasey: Don't call someone a moron unless you actually know what you are talking about. You will find that many tornado warning bulletins read "NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A TORNADO..."
The NWS will issue tornado warnings when forecasters see a velocity couplet on radar, indicating a strong mesocyclone aloft, not necessarily a tornado on the ground.
@flipdac – is a tornado less a tornado if not on the ground? Pick nits much? Tornado Warning means they see something on radar that appears to them to be a tornado forming. They don't know if it's on the ground til chasers get there, and with rainwrap and other factors, might not know til the storm clears. Tornado Warning, take cover, it's coming.
I stand corrected:
Romance, White County.
Tornado, reported by trained spotter.
A spotter witnessed a tornado pass across his
property... blowing a roof off of an outbuilding.
Wow, talk about being "Caught in a bad romance."
dur hur hur hur...
God hates the south
Theres no place "Like home, flying through the air". La la la la la la
Arkansas got hit very hard. Vilonia, Morgan, LRAFB and many more places were damaged. Very bad situation. So far, no fatalities.
I use to live there and still have many friends and family there- be compassionate please.
Although I appreciate CNN's efforts to boost tornado awareness amidst this intense season, posting a tornado warning as a news clip doesn't really accomplish anything. What needs to be done is education – train everyone how to fast become aware of a tornadic thunderstorm in their area. Steps include: 1) Know what day and what time it's supposed to get bad out 2) Stay near a TV, computer, or 3G/4G phone that can get warnings and radar picture 3) Know what a tornadic storm looks like both on radar (hook echo) and in person (mesocyclone, wall cloud, funnel cloud, inflow jet). That's pretty much all you need, aside from taking cover or getting out of the way. If your county is warned and it's night time or blinding rain, you should already be in a low area. If you are not in a position to be aware, then you're a sitting duck.
It does seem silly to put it here. A day and a half later, it'll still say tornado closing on romance
A lot of the homes in that area are already in dis-repair or foreclosed on. Now would be a good time to remove the debris from the destroyed homes and create open green space.
@ greenopenspaces, Nancy & mmmmmm....where do you all live?
Thank god all are safe. But damages in these regions could exceed $12.50.
Nancy your estimates excluded the beer bottles and moonshine stills...
National Weather Service definition for a TORNADO EMERGENCY –
a TORNADO EMERGENCY means that significant, widespread damange with a high likelihood of numerous fatalities is expected to continue with a strong and violet tornado. A tornado emergency is not a new warning product, but a new visible and high impact call-to-action.
Nancy that was funny. This world is safe? Yeah right... We didn't have car accidents, plane crashes, pollution, nuclear plants, global warming...150 years ago so whoever said that this world is safer now than ever, think again. I forgot to mention all the guns many convicts have illegally! So think before you speak dumbo. I'm still the most intelligent blogger CNN has, ask Obama I'm his advisor!
Stupid!
Sadly,some damage down here..but on the bright side,my cigars are unscathed.
What time did the tornado hit? I just heard about it and my Grandma lives down in Romance, I don't want to wake her up if she has went to bed. I pray that everyone's alright.
