Dear friends, we have had quite a night. We arrived in Little Rock in time for dinner and a chance to meet a few new people. We have a great spot right on the river. After dinner we joined two other couples to walk over the presidential bridge to the Clinton Library. There was a very pleasant breeze and we enjoyed our walk. About 5 minutes after our return the tornado alarm sounded. We all went to our rv to turn on the news. The news had the area on tornado warning. People in the rv park were headed to the rest room. We chose to stay with our dogs and watched the news. It got very close and I was sure we were going to see the tornado. I sent a text to my children, pulled in the slide to make us more stream lined, grabbed a bag of m&ms, and the four of us climbed into bed to watch the news. I don't know if any of you have seen the Rv that turns into a boat but I imagined our rv sliding off the bank into the Arkansas River, and floating away. Bob and Johanna, the friends we came to see, were kind enough to call to check on us. The worst part was that they kept saying if you are in a mobile home you need to go to a safe place. We had no where to go. Thank goodness we were not on the bridge when it happened.
When it was over my DH....that is rv language for dear husband...said,"that is one more thing to cross off my bucket list." He had initially thought we should wait outside so we could see what was happening.
We were blessed that it missed us and went three miles south of us. Like I said, what a night.
We will be here for three nights and I am very excited to not be on the road for awhile
Peace to my wonderful family and many friends, Barbara
