The twister was spawned by one of numerous violent thunderstorms raking a vast swath of the US heartland as part of a much larger expanse of extreme spring weather.
A fierce tornado blasted through Little Rock, Arkansas, and neighboring towns on Friday, March 31, killing at least two people and injuring dozens of others as it sheared roofs and walls from many buildings, flipped over vehicles and downed trees and power lines, officials said.
Police said several areas in the western end of the city were hardest hit, and the mayor described property damage as “extensive.” Wynne Police Chief Richard Dennis was quoted by television station KAIT8-TV in Jonesboro, Arkansas, as describing the storm’s aftermath in his town as “total destruction,” adding that dozens of people had been trapped in debris.
One woman recounted in a live interview aired by KATV that she was visiting a salon to have her nails done when she looked out the window and saw leaves swirling moments before the building’s roof was torn off. The twister struck as a blast of extreme spring weather swept much of the United States, menacing the nation’s midsection from Texas to the Great Lakes with thunderstorms and tornados.
