Tornado or Gustnado? You Be The Judge
Posted on by Trey Stafford

Yesterday’s storms kicked up their intensity as they passed East of Crowley’s Ridge.  Lots of hail and gusty wind reports across Cross County, Eastern Poinsett and Craighead counties, and Northern Mississippi County.

There were numerous reports of what people thought was a funnel cloud or tornado around Trumann and Bay.  The Weather Service has seen the pictures and video and believe that people saw wasn’t a tornado or funnel cloud, but a “gustnado” — dust being blown by the thunderstorm winds getting caught up in the storms “updraft” sucking the dust up into the storm making it “look” like a funnel cloud or tornado.

We found some of the images and video on social media.  What do you think?

This year’s song of the summer is a ballad, not a banger. Here’s what that says about us

For the past 14 weeks and counting, the top Billboard spot has been held by a love ballad: Alex Warren's "Ordinary." As Berklee College of Music professor and forensic musicologist Joe Bennett notes, the February release is "a fair bit slower than the mean average for the Hot 100, or for a historical song of the summer."
