Between 0250 and 0315 UTC tonight (Thursday night), a damaging tornado moved from west of Little Rock and directly over the radar site/NWS office in North Little Rock, with reports of structural damage. The supercell had an incredible couplet on radar, with the entire RFD - tornado cyclone structure visible on storm relative velocity from ~100 feet above the ground! I'll upload a radar loop later today. Thankfully so far, no fatalities have been reported.

I watched everything on radar yesterday. Donny was lucky it didn't hit him.
How's today looking severe weather wise?
Oh and, either it's just me or the forums are messed up and I can't access it..it gives me an error and a bunch of coding.
Yeah, sure was lucky..
That video is too creepy....
You bet that's creepy, he sure is lucky! The tornado/rotation stayed a few miles north of his location luckily! In my opinion according to radar images I saved, the rotation gained strength to the NE of Little Rock, and soon died after.
I say rotation because I don't think it has been confirmed yet as a tornado as the storm moved Northeast of Little Rock.
