Watching weather real close in the next 48-hours.
An outbreak of severe weather appears to be taking shape to our east... too close for comfort.
Day to watch: Wednesday.
This turtle was found jay walking at the intersection of 15th and Main! It was briefly detained by Cpl. Jensen, who rescued it and then released it at the Arkansas River.
The boots and badges blood drive is going on now! The fire department is already ahead by 6 donations! Come out and donate for the Van Buren Police Department!!!
If you only knew how hard our federal, state, county and local government employees have worked this week! Seeing the leadership in the river valley makes me proud! I also appreciate the businesses that have stepped in and the incredible volunteers on both sides of the river!!!
Thank you to #VanBuren Police Chief Jamie Hammond and Van Buren Mayor @JosephPHurst for taking me around the @CityofVanBuren and explaining flooding impacts & challenges we will face moving forward. These images overlook Bekaert Steel and the Field of Dreams Baseball Field. #AR3
Just spoke to Governor @AsaHutchinson of the Great State of Arkansas to inform him that FEMA and the Federal Government will do whatever is necessary to help out with what has turned out to be Record Flooding. Asa and local officials are doing a great job!
