Brian, I could be wrong about this, but I believe the impressive long-track cell actually missed Mena to the north. But a fast moving/developing cell to its south moved directly over Mena less than an hour later.

Yeah now that I think about it your right. I am about to head to Mena (per my tv photog duties). I will post pics / updates later..

edit: looking at vid from this morning we have just got back... their main street is pretty torn up but they couldnt get into the worse hit areas because of gas leak concerns
