SPC High Risk + Tornado Emergency + Aftermath (March 31, 2023) (EAS #2640-2666)

I was in 8th grade, my mom mentioned that there would be bad weather the night before. On that day, I was checked out of school an hour before it cane into north Little Rock, where I live. We went to scoop dog to kill time before we checked out my sister from the elementary campus. As soon as we pulled out of the parking lot, the sirens went off, we made it home 9 mins before the tornado hit the neighborhood. When we got home, we quickly put all of our valuables into the safe, then ran back out so I could back the car to the edge of the driveway so the basketball goal wouldn't hit it if it fell. Once we made it to the bathroom, the power went out. we heard it, and you'd think it sounded like a train. it didn't, it sounded more like a horde of motorbikes racing. It missed our house by 3 streets, missed all 3 schools by a street or less. missed where my sister was by 5 houses. we are lucky

I was in high school and a senior just about to graduate in a few months i remember the principle saying to take cover, i grew up the majority of life in little Rock and never witnessed anything like this so i was terrified I remembered watching it tear up Central Arkansas live. That's a day that i won't forget.

Glad to hear you're safe, I think luck was 100% on your side during that severe weather event.

I am so glad that you’re safe. I’m so sorry that you had to experience that. I’m so sorry about your grandparents house. I hope their house was able to be repaired at no extra cost from the insurance and that they’re still living there.

I was Georgia when the tornado 🌪️ struck my mom went to pick up my granny from work along with my sister but I did contact them asap as soon as I saw the tornado warning

I remember this tornado in Wisconsin. My mom and I were at the hospital when we got an EAS alert for a severe thunderstorm warning. When we were driving home, we got a tornado warning and I tried to hide under a part of the car, and when we got home, me, mom, dad, and my sister hid in the basement until the tornado was over. It was so scary, and even worse, it happened at night.

I was informed multiple times by my weather service I use about a bad storm coming April 2nd. Of course they didn’t cancel school. However, they let us out early. We get out at 2:50 PM. however this day, we got out 1pm. My hometown that day ended up with a PDS tornado warning (meaning tornado on the ground) a street in front of my neighborhood. We got lucky.

This is why u sould even treat slight risks of tornadoes still seriously.... there was like a 1 per sent chance of a tornado it was april 2 years ago. I was sleeping. My mom said :basment, now: i heard the roar of the tornado. It was dramatic. I heard window break. I heard things tear off. When i got back upstiar everything was gone

Heyo! Long time no talk! good to see you're okay.

4:31 P O P E COUNTY IN CENTRAL ARKANSAS-

i was there visiting relatives. me, my parents, my aunt, snd my gran were at my grans house when the storm hit. before the storm hit we all went out to eat, we went to walmarts & stuff. when we got back to grannys house the storm hit. i remember when the emergency was issued. the siren went off, all our phones went off. grans noaa weather radio went off. we headed to the basement & it sounded like a big ass freight train going down the road. grannys property sustained some damage, and the neighbors house was hit.

man i was in my room that time listening to music cause i had a phobia fearing lightning and thunder. When i checked the weather i notice it was a tornado watch which wasnt a good sign. so i checked the weather constant so i wouldnt go offguard. until 12 am i noticed the storm in Pennsylvania had passed and i knew i could take my headphones off. luckily the tornado never happened. if it happened, i would never be making this comment today.

I was in Jacksonville Arkansas, which is close to Little Rock. But I remember that same day they let school out and I thought "thats weird, never happens". So I went home at 12 PM and took a 1 hour nap till 1 O'Clock PM. Then I woke up and I decided I was gonna look up the weather out of randomness, and hot springs was currently being hit(still getting stronger at this point), and I was like "oh no, it's coming directly our way through little rock.." So I let my mom, my sister know , and we kind of just looked out. And around probably an hour and a half later sirens were going off, and I was like "not good at all, time to track where this bad boy is at". I didn't even think it was a real tornado, boy was I wrong... It was real alright. And because it was so real, I went into shelter as it was impacting NLR/Sherwood. Before it entered Jacksonville, we received a call saying my grandparents house was damaged pretty bad, but thankfully not destroyed. By this point, I took it a bit more seriously, so I was like "Everyone, shelter. NOW" and we did but my step dad didn't even care so he just went to sleep and said "oh noo, welp, hope it takes me away 😂" so I was like " whatever, it takes you away that's your problem.. ". Once it was done, we had to wait a few more hours before driving on the road(Due to the really bad damage). Once we set out driving in the impacted areas, it looked like something you would see from Fallout 76. Hardly even recogniseable.. But I'm just glad it's been fixed up now and put back into the place it used to be. Scary time..
