The pictured truck at 23:52 on September 29th was videotaped spinning hookers in the parking lot of Appleton VFD and spraying rocks into the bay doors. If you know this truck please ask them not to do so. We need to preserve community property and not damage it. Thanks for your help.

...Strong/Significant Tornado Risk Increasing For Monday 5/19/25... 🌪

IMPORTANT: Pending the lunch update, we may have an emergency live stream later this evening to discuss this potential!

Here's the latest information from the SPC (Storm Prediction Center), they have highlighted MUCH of western/northwestern Arkansas in an area for strong tornado potential on Monday.

FOR THE REST OF THE STATE: The tornado risk is in place, just a "lowered" threat at this time.

Damaging Winds (potentially significant) & large hail will be hazards as well!
