When a shooting occurs, public sympathy usually envelopes the victim(s) and their family, as it should. Undoubtedly, Arkansas residents will offer their support for Bill Gwatney,and pray for a speedy recovery.

Unfortunately, for the victims, speculation replaces sympathy too quickly when a violent crime occurs in a political arena.

Bill Gwatney, Arkansas Democratic Party Chairman Shot; Should We Live in Fear?

Shooting at Arkansas Democratic Campaign Headquarters

So tonight I'm up with my weather phobic friend waiting for Armageddon.The anxiety is contagious.

Lots of bad weather and potential tornadoes expected, but what's new? This is Arkansas. Having lived here for five months, I pivoted from complete apathy towards weather to a true fascination of it. I even began posting photos on Accuweather, Lord help me.

Just the other night I took several videos during a 6-hour electrical storm, of which this is a short clip (below).

So I suppose I'll propogate the oversaturated world of cloud photos, but they are striking.Yes?...no need for storms or tornadoes either. I'm not prejudice I like them fluffy, dark, light, skinny, fat etc.

And, if you want a chuckle at my expense, read what this idiot did during her indoctrination with a weather radio.

Normal people don't stay up until 6am filming electrical storms...hear the birds? And if this 15 sec clip has you riveted there is more...
