A MEMORABLE SPRING

June 03, 2013

Hot Springs, Arkansas, is not very far as the crow flies from the parts of Oklahoma which have suffered terrible loss of property and life due to the latest flurry of storms and tornadoes. It came dangerously close to the city of Hot Springs over the weekend when the western fringes of the area suffered important property damage due to the stormy conditions and areas west of here, bumping on the Oklahoma border, even suffered loss of life, largely attributable to flood. For the many of us who use highway 270 out of Hot Springs when we head north to the Fayetteville area and points north, the areas where flooding occurred are on land where we have all traveled many times.
