Hello Ken:
Well, I'd have to say it's a fairly typical year for severe thunderstorms i=
n my area so far this year. My area--for whatever reason--really doesn't ex=
perience that many severe events in a year. But--with that said--Mena did c=
op a direct hit from an EF-3 Tornado late evening on April 9th. This was on=
e of only a few twisters that I know of that has hit Mena over the years. I=
 copped marble+ sized hail--but little rain--before the twister hit. I real=
ly don't cop much hail in a year and that size was pretty large for here. A=
lthough my area--Mena & Polk County--do get put under Severe Thunderstorm W=
atches/Warnings from time-to-time; the really nasty stuff seems to miss my =
area (and of that I'm very thankful). I think the flatter areas of Arkansas=
 (the Eastern parts) seem to cop more severe weather than my mountainous ar=
ea does.
=A0
Kind Wishes & Take Care~~~David Powell
P.S. The April 9th twister caused 3 deaths, around 40 injuries and did in e=
xcess of $10million (and Clyve Herbert said the damage bill could approach =
$30million) in damages. As of mid-June, over 7,000 truckloads of debris hav=
e been removed from town and it was estimated that Mena lost over 10,000 tr=
ees from the storm.

Hello Friends:
(Just to clarify: when I say "my" records: This just means how long I've be=
en keeping track of Mena's temperatures and rainfall. I started keeping tra=
ck in January 1984--I use Radio Station KENA [the official weather station =
for Mena] for the Temperatures. The daily rainfall (1984-1993) was recorded=
 at a location in town; from 1994, the daily raintotals are from my raingua=
ge on my patio. The Daily Average/Daily Record High & Low Temperatures for =
Mena are courtesy of weather.com).
