Since storms were forecast to develop in my home area (western arkansas), I decided I would just wait it out till something developed or became obvious it was about to. Storms initially began developing in Western Arkansas just after noon near the Ozark area.
By 1pm the storms were severe and but were heading into the mountains and forest so
chasing them was not much of an option...at 130 a tornado warning was issued for the storms as they made their way into
Searcy County, Arkansas
taken at 105pm
For the next couple hours I waited back at home. Around 230pm I noticed a storm
forming in Sequoyah County in East Central Oklahoma. Looking at satellite and radar I was doubting whether anything else
would be forming anytime soon so I decided to chance it and get in position for the storm and hope it strengthened
before it got to me. From Ozark I took HWY 23 (The Pig Trail) North, hoping to get in perfect position by the time the
storm got through Crawford County and into Madison County Arkansas. Along Hwy 23 the trees and mountains prevented me from
getting any looks at the storm until about 330pm when I could finally see some hints as to the further organization and strengthening of
the storm. 
Just after 330pm I made it to JCT 16 and I immediately had a descent view of the storm base and apparent small wall cloud and moments later a Tornado Warning was issued.
The wall cloud became better organized within a couple minutes.
And when it was basically right in front of me it had a great look to it with a nice tail cloud forming (the cloud pointing to the right from the right edge of the wall cloud). Although it looked nice visually, the cloud
motions were not that impressive.
Within just a couple more minutes the wall cloud began dissipating rapidly but the tail cloud remained for a few more minutes.
Several hours late another storm followed a similar path being just slightly further south and it too had a Tornado Warning and I just got to
a view point when the wall cloud began dissipating rapidly.
The storm reorganized a bit but the next wall cloud was a bit of a wall cloud/outflow hybrid. The storm did however go on to become
much better organized and Tornado Warnings were issued all along its path into North Central Arkansas.
More storms affected Eastern Oklahoma and Western Arkansas the next morning (Saturday, September 23, 2006). A line of severe storms made their way
into Fort Smith, Arkansas.
