No reports of injuries or fatalities have been reported. However, lots of damage has been reported with trees down, power lines down, and chicken houses destroyed. Expect more reports to arrive throughout the day.
As of 6 a.m., roughly a half million power outages were reported across Arkansas and Oklahoma combined.
This is a look at the radar as the storm rushed through the River Valley. Outside the tornado, we had 70+ MPH winds causing damage and knocking out power.
