Lately, the 479 has been receiving a downpour, but how much are we actually getting?

Rainfall report for the area, as of 9:00 pm, Wednesday:

• 2.00″ at the Fayetteville airport
• 1.76″ at the Rogers airport
• 2.60″ at the Fort Smith airport
• 3.20″ in Mena

This weather was well needed,  as we haven’t had snow or rain since the flood in December. Southeast Arkansas, between Little Rock and Memphis totals between 5 and 8 inches, even more than Northwest Arkansas! In Northern Louisiana, a state of emergency has been declared because they have had between 8 and 13″ inches and houses are being swept away, and two people have been killed.

Not expected here soon, but if a flood occurs, go to higher ground, do not attempt driving, and if water arises in your home, go to the top floor, attic, or roof
