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
