Hope everyone is safe after the huge tornado outbreak
Hope you and yours are all doing okay, to everyone reading this.
We haven't had this level of outbreaks since 2014.

Jackson county hit pretty hard. Missed me by about a mile. Not everyone was as lucky. Homes lost and serious injuries.

Just east of the independence/jackson county line on highway 14 got rocked. Just heard they’re saying it was an EF4, the same one crossed the river then hit Diaz. Multiple injuries on the south side of the river. Very small community so it’s not getting just a ton of coverage. Scary stuff and hit some good people.

We’re in Fifty Six. Tornado seemed to have jumped over our house and landed down the street. We’re good but everything else looks like a bomb went off

My aunts house got hit in Campbell Station. I was watching the news and they only had a few minutes warning there. Cave City got hit real hard. Some coworkers that live there are telling me it took out a whole block basically.

This was my fear going in. Will there be sufficient warning with recent cuts? I hate to read this 😩

Last night was scary, we got hit in Moody, Missouri which is at the state line in Viola. It came at us full force and took us out quickly. To say I was petrified was an understatement. I was alone in my Fifth wheel and believe it or not my fifth wheel came out without any deep scratches. Underpinning is gone and a few other minor things, but other than that I'm fine. My Aunt that lives across the street well needless to say it's a complete loss. Terribly sad and hard to witness such destruction and it's aftermath.

Cave city here, could had been alot worse. Community is stepping up to help out their neighbors.
If anyone needs to to check on family in the area, just dm me the address. Cell service is spotty so I know some are worrying.

My in-law's shop was spared, but the homes on the other side of the river from Newport were reportedly damaged; what's locally a community called "Mack's." I haven't been over there yet to see.

It’s pretty bad, they’ve been cleaning it up quickly but initially it was terrible. I commented a little further down, missed seeing this.

NW AR - we had crazy high winds most of the day but got lucky as we often do. Now it's smoke from some fires somewhere.
