Storm damage in the River Valley early Saturday morning
BECAUSE WE GOT SOME LIGHT IN THERE. SO THERE’S ANY KIND OF BUMPING AROUND, WE’D SEE IT. SO THAT’S, THAT’S GOOD TO SEE AROUND MULBERRY. STILL SOME GUSTY WINDS, BUT THIS DOES SEEM TO BE GENERALLY CALMING DOWN. WE’LL GO AHEAD AND GET YOU BACK TO REGULAR PROGRAMING. WE’LL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THINGS. WE’LL BE BACK WITH MORE UPDATES AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, AND WE’LL BE GETTING SOME VIDEO AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING OF THAT DAMAGE, WHICH, YOU KNOW, TO RECAP HERE FOLKS, WE WE’RE CERTAIN THAT WE HAVE DAMAGE IN VAN BUREN. WE ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE DAMAGE JUST OUTSIDE OF VAN BUREN, TOO. IN OTHER PARTS OF CRAWFORD COUNTY, BETWEEN VAN BUREN AND DORA, QUITE CONFIDENT WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD BIT OF DAMAGE IN PARTS OF SEQUOYAH COUNTY BETWEEN MULDROW AND AND ROLAND, AND A LITTLE BIT NORTH OF THAT AREA AS WELL. SO ALL ALONG, FROM JUST EAST OF SALLISAW, ALL THE WAY INTO CRAWFORD COUNTY, THIS AREA RIGHT IN THROUGH HERE JUST NORTH OF I-40, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF DAMAGE IN THESE DIFFERENT SPOTS. SO WE’RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON GETTING VIDEO, GETTING VISUALS. WE’LL HAVE THAT HOPEFULLY BY TOMORROW MORNING AND CERTAINLY TOMORROW EVENING. AND, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE PROBABLY HAD AT LEAST ONE, MAYBE TWO, THREE TORNADOES IN THIS AREA. AND SO, BUT AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS IS QUIETING DOWN. AND SO AS IT SHIFTS EAST, NOT AS MUCH OF A RISK PERHAPS, BUT AGAIN, IF THIS PICKS BACK UP AGAIN, WE START TO SEE INTENSIFICATION AS THIS GETS CLOSER TO OZARK OR AS IT GETS CLOSER TO CLARKSVILLE OR PARIS. AND THOSE WOULD BE THE ONLY AREAS I WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE ANY INTENSIFICATION, ENOUGH THAT WE WOULD GET ANOTHER WARNING. WE’LL GET BACK ON THE AIR WITH MORE INFORMATION FARTHER SOUTH. NOT TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. THAT’S COMING INTO WALDRON. NO WARNING ON THIS STORM IN MADISON COUNTY, THOUGH. PROBABLY STILL SOME GUSTY WINDS. OCCASIONALLY. IT IS REALLY JUST THIS SECTION RIGHT HERE, WHICH IS WEAKENED, WHICH IS WHY WE’RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GET OFF THE AIR AND GET YOU BACK TO REGULAR PROGRAMING, BUT WE’LL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON IT.
