Knock on wood, but the heat index is not as bad as we expected. Criteria for a heat advisory is 105+. With these clouds, I seriously doubt we get widespread 105 today. I'm not complaining. #arwx #mowx #tnwx

Other parts of Arkansas are dealing with an emergency right now. This type of warning is not just thrown around. It's serious.

I had a great opportunity to tour Nucor in Mississippi county yesterday. This place is absolutely amazing! The massiveness of the facility and equipment is mind-blowing. Everyone we encountered was welcoming and seemed to love where they work. I did not take any pictures, but was sent this group pic and was tagged in this picture with K Smooth! Great dude. I’m already looking forward to going back again.
