Deadly Storms in Arkansas

[Freightdawg]

Tough night in West Memphis, last night. We may be one of the lucky ones in that we got power back after midnight, and have had it most of the day, off and on.

On the East side of Alabama, power is out and the last place to buy fuel headed west bound is Stevenson. The fuel lines are several hours long in some places. I got diesel at Big Daddys Outfitters between Kimbal and Stevenson and sat for one and a half hours. With power out, you may have to drive across the state to refill. Also bring food and water cuz not much is open along the way. They told us the power would be out for anywhere between 3 days and 10 days or more. Monday was one of the longest days of our lives and we were lucky compared to most. Some of the people we worked with lost trees and suffered roof damage. Some of the people we worked with lost everything.
