The wind blew hard all night long with several thunderstorms. Now that I can see the clouds, they're moving fast, from west to east, with gusting ground winds. I would guess the gusts to be from 25-35 mph. Location western Arkansas.

Passed thru Louisiana wee hours of morning.
Winds were WICKED! Lots of power still out.
