STORM PICS

These impressive pictures were shot by 40/29 Storm Chaser Brian Emfinger. The man keeps busy! With plenty of moisture in place, daytime heating has "popcorned" the atmosphere over the past few days, providing plenty of Kodak moments!

Both pictures, captured yesterday, are of storms that fired up east of the Fort Smith area. The top picture is from Dyer and the bottom one is looking north of the Mulberry area along a shelf cloud.

Once again today we saw morning storms north of the River Valley, with the community of Flint, OK picking up an incredible 2.09" of rain in just about an hour! Remember, don't try to cross flooded roadways. This evening the heaviest action has been around the Clarksville / Ozark area. We received a report of up to six inches of moving water in places. That's enough to knock a person over and just a foot and a half of moving water can float your vehicle. Please do not become a statistic! Flooding is the number one weather related killer.
