Minutes After Arkansas Tornado, Storm Chasers Become First Responders

Arkansastornado

VILONIA, Arkansas — Three years to the day after one of the deadliest and most prolific outbreak of tornadoes in U.S. history, another devastating tornado claimed at least 10 lives in several communities in Arkansas


It began Sunday afternoon, when the National Weather Service issued a PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) tornado watch for west-central Arkansas. We positioned ourselves south of the Arkansas River, west of Little Rock, where the tornado initially formed and grew into a mile wide wedge.
