Powerful storms and possible tornadoes pummeled towns in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas on Saturday night, killing at least six people, damaging homes, overturning trucks and leaving hundreds of thousands without power.vOn Sunday, the severe weather—which included the possibility of tornadoes—was moving eastward. Up until Sunday afternoon, over six million people—including some areas of Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee—were under a tornado watch. An “enhanced” risk of severe weather affected a larger area that included more than 15 million people. According to Cooke County Sheriff Ray Sappington, a tornado struck northern Texas on Saturday, killing at least five people (two adults and two children) and injuring at least twenty more. According to him, three of those individuals were buried under debris at the same house. After his house was totally destroyed by fire, another person passed away. He stated that some of the injured were in critical condition and that “sadly, we fear that number is going to rise.” According to him, there were still two missing children and emergency personnel were looking for anyone who might be trapped in the rubble. A Shell truck stop in Cooke County suffered significant damage, leaving at least 60 people stranded, with several suffering minor injuries. A four-mile radius was affected by the tornado’s path, which snapped power poles and seriously damaged buildings, according to Sheriff Sappington. He said that it might take more than a week for the area to get full power back. “There’s a terrible mess and destruction when we wake up today,” he declared.
According to local authorities in Benton County, Arkansas, there was one fatality and numerous injuries in the area on Sunday morning. They stated during a press conference that the area was likely struck by tornadoes. Decatur and Rocky Branch were among the most severely affected areas when officials proclaimed the county to be in disaster. According to the local police department, a potential tornado caused gas leaks, downed trees and power lines, and cut off electricity to a large portion of the city of Rogers. As a result, police were responding to people who were trapped.
“There has been some structural damage to some businesses and residences,” Keith Foster, a spokesman for the Rogers police department, said in an email. At least three businesses had major damage, he said, and local gas companies were responding to an “overwhelming” amount of calls over gas leaks.
