Tornado Hits Little Rock Arkansas



A tornado tore through central Arkansas late Thursday night, flipping over planes, damaging homes and vehicles and setting off tornado sirens in Little Rock.The tornado left a trail of damage from Bryant to northern Pulaski County, said Emilie Nipper, a forecaster with the National Weather Service’s office in North Little Rock at the North Little Rock Municipal Airport. Just after 10 p.m. forecasters went to a shelter behind the office while the tornado passed by.“We heard it go over our heads,” Nipper said.Damage was widespread and knocked out power to at least 20,000.For more information see today's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
