The Midsouth was walloped last evening by numerous severe storms, some of which turned tornadic. The storm reports page from yesterday is lit up like a Christmas tree. Many reports of high winds, hail and also a few tornadoes . Even in my own neck of the woods, there are numerous trees uprooted and others "topped".
Mena (Polk County) seems to have been the hardest hit area (3 fatalities).
One wonders how bad it could have been if this system would have moved through during the early evening hours.
The Governor has already declared 3 counties (Polk, Howard and Sevier) as disaster areas, making them available for state relief funds.
