Just to let the public know yes there is extensive damage to Gassville. The Warning System DID NOT SOUND. I was at the Exxon fueling up watching this approach. The Warning System is ON Exxon's Property. I finished fueling, pulled forward to photo and video the Rotation. NO WARNING ALARMS. Attempted to drive into it as second quessing myself (no warnings it must just be a wall of rain)....when the power lines and transformers blew I knew it was time to leave, U-turned and attempted to leave when the wind pushed me across 5 lanes of traffic while attempting to accelerate, I did manage to maintain control and exit with no major damage or injury. Howwever many many people still going about their daily routine we not so lucky. My prayers are with those injured.

I have more photos that for some reason didn't upload for anyone wanting to see.
