Tornado emergency issued for Little Rock and nearby areas
A significant tornado outbreak is underway in the South, as more than 28 million people are under a tornado watch, according to the National Weather Service.
The alert comes as rare high-risk tornado warnings have been issued Friday for parts of six states -- Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee -- as a major storm leaves millions in the Heartland at risk from potentially violent, long-track tornadoes. Among those at risk for tornadoes is an area that was hit by deadly storms last weekend. President Joe Biden is visiting one of those locations -- Rolling Fork, Mississippi -- on Friday.
