Joe,
There were some big messes for sure. But it could have been lots worse, though that is little consolation for the people that lost stuff. I called my cousin in Arkansas and they have had 6" of rain and some wind but the main wind missed them by about 20 miles up there. She did say they still have tornado warnings for most of Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas in effect until 10 AM their time which is now well past.
