    From Daryl Stout@1:2320/33 to All on Mon Dec 13 10:46:00 2021
    For those who have been wondering, I survived the tornado outbreak across
    the Midsouth Friday night and Saturday morning. While there were warnings
    for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and flash flooding for Pulaski County
    (the Little Rock Metro Area), the worst of it was to my northeast.

    Storm damage surveys are still being done by the National Weather Service, and preliminary data shows EF-3 tornado damage in northeast Arkansas, where
    a nursing home was hit, and at least 2 people were killed. That same storm produced multiple strong to violent tornadoes, and it was showing rotation
    on Doppler Radar for over 250 miles. If they can confirm a tornado was on
    the ground for that long, "The QuadState Tornado" (Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky" will set a record for the longest tracked tornado
    in US History...beating the "TriState Tornado" (Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana) on March 18, 1925. And, if it's shown to be continuous, and they
    find EF-5 tornado damage, that'll be affixed to the tornado, even though
    it wasn't that strength for its entire life. And, if that occurs, it would
    be Arkansas' first EF-5 tornado in 92 years.
