Insane video out of Little Rock. Peak "dumb ways to die" material. No deaths, unbelievably.

But if you ever get the idea to hold a glass door shut during a tornado, don't.

The clouds in the first part of that video are giving me flashbacks. When I was about 4 or 5 years old, my older brother and I would like to climb onto the roof of the barn on our farm, just to hang out. One day we were up there and we’re watching the clouds move around in opposite directions just like that. Our mom yelled at us to come down (we typically tried to stay on the roof side away from the house so she wouldn’t see us up there), and we ended up heading straight to the basement because there was a tornado warning. That tornado passed close to our farm, but not through it, thank goodness.

God bless my mom for putting up with me and my brothers cluelessly putting our lives at risk on a daily basis before I even started kindergarten, lol.

I thought this AM we were going to be lied to but by lunch time and tonight it was so nice out.
Everyone in our neighborhood was out.

I had the women's title game on garage TV and cleaned out the vehicles in driveway.

So...the timing of this one seems a bit later in the day? Not as likely to impact school dismissal times?

I guess I was thinking this one was supposed to be even later than “Tuesday afternoon”. My daughter has a track meet Tuesday and they have already cancelled at least two meets this year due to weather.

C’mon Mother Nature. I just want to see my daughter run, dammit. Is that too much to ask?

Correct. Unfortunately, this one is looking to be more evening or even after dark than Friday.

Insert running joke here. Spring sports are so damn hard up this way.

To a novice like myself those graphics/data seem exactly like what we saw heading into Friday's outbreak of storms. Yet tomorrow doesn't seem to be getting that much attention? Is there a difference between Friday's and what might happen tomorrow?

Probably less around here since not much happened in the DM area but the national storm chasers are treating it the same way as Friday.

Since there is less of a threat in AR this time, im guessing even more will be in E-IA or W-IL

I'm guessing because it was a weekend plus the Iowa WBB team, people were just focused on other stuff. It's been all over the weather sources I've seen. It's on the Register's front page now.

I-94 doing the Lord's work up here cutting off the bad weather 10 mi from our house.

In other news, my parents were on the edge of purple Friday and ended up not getting much. My mom commented about it being "overhyped" and I'm like well it was pretty serious other places - meaning IC, Little Rock, much of central IL, Memphis - and she commented yeah [place like 10 miles away] got it much worse. Facepalm. if it was bad that close to you, that's not overhyped. Forecasters aren't quite down to predicting the exact quarter section a tornado will drop into. They're more solidly into the purple this time so we'll see how that goes.
