Mike,

 MP> Thanks for sharing.  We had one survey here in Kentucky, in Russell

  I try to get the local storm report summary and the storm damage surveys
from the National Weather Service in Little Rock, as they cover 46 of
Arkansas' 75 counties. The remaining 29 are picked up by NWS offices in
Tulsa, Shrevport, Jackson, and Memphis.

  It looks like another severe weather threat on Wednesday...that also
ends up postponing the "required weekly test". Here, they normally test
the tornado sirens at 12 noon on Wednesday...that'd be the worst time
for an actual tornado warning. Except for NWS personnel, and Skywarn
Spotters, no one else would know the difference.
