Possible EF5 in Arkansas?
..VAN BUREN COUNTY
THE OTHER TEAM VIEWED DAMAGE FROM AROUND SHIRLEY BACK THROUGH
CLINTON AND CULPEPPER. MUCH OF THE SWATH OF DAMAGE WAS ONE HALF MILE
TO A MILE WIDE…WITH THE TORNADO RATED AS AT LEAST EF3.
THERE SOME CASES WHERE HOMES WERE SWEPT OFF OF THEIR FOUNDATIONS…
INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE BRAND NEW HOME. THERE WERE TWO INSTANCES
WHERE PEOPLE WERE LOOKING FOR THEIR VEHICLES. THE VEHICLES WERE
THROWN FOR A DISTANCE AND COULD NOT BE FOUND. THERE WERE THREE
FATALITIES IN VAN BUREN COUNTY.
A QUICK RESPONSE TEAM WILL LIKELY BE ASKED TO VIEW THE DAMAGE TO
DETERMINE IF THE RATING COULD BE HIGHER THAN EF3.
