    Hi Folks!

    Forwarding an e-mail I received from Daryl:

    You likely have seen on the news, that the Little Rock, Arkansas area,
    was hit by a large tornado. I am okay, but there is significant tornado
    damage in much of West Little Rock, North Little Rock, and Jacksonville,
    among many other areas.

    There was no damage here, thank God, but one local hospital reported at
    least two dozen injuries, with several of those listed as critical.
    There were many reports of homes and businesses damaged or destroyed,
    with numerous vehicles flipped over, damaged, or destroyed. There are
    also at least 80,000 people without power.

    The region is still under a particularly dangerous situation tornado
    watch into this evening, with a moderate to high risk of tornadoes.
    Unfortunately, it looks like we'll do this all over again Tuesday into
    Wednesday of next week.

    I still have lightning in my area, as of 6:30 p.m. Friday evening, about
    4 hours after the tornado hit the area. So, I likely will be off the
    air, ham radio wise, and offline, BBS wise, until Saturday morning.
