NEW YORK, April 1 — A fierce tornado blasted through Little Rock, Arkansas, and neighbouring towns yesterday, killing at least two people and injuring dozens as it sheared roofs and walls from many buildings, flipped over vehicles and downed trees and power lines, officials said.
The mid-afternoon twister in Arkansas and the storm in Illinois were both 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. Police said several areas in the western end of the city were hardest hit, and the mayor described property damage as “extensive”.
Aerial footage posted by The Weather Channel showed a heavily damaged area of Little Rock spanning several blocks with numerous homes missing roofs and walls, some of them collapsed, and overturned vehicles littering streets. KATV posted an image of a heavily damaged high school in Wynne. She and others in the shop took cover in a back room as the twister struck and emerged to find the ceiling gone, said the woman, who seemed unhurt.
