Theres no telling how many people were in the area!!! We are watching local news now and it just showed a church they were using for a shelter and it was packed with people. Most of the people that got out lost their vehicles and everything they took with them. Many from Texas. They just said one person lost 6 family members!! Its awful!

Not very far, maybe 30 minutes from Albert Pike.

Glad to hear you are OK Marsye! I was worried about ya! I'm glad we did not move down there.....we went through there when we went to Mena. I almost cried when I saw it on the tv..so sad....Prayers are with all of those who are looking for their loved ones.
