Three people have been killed after tornadoes touched down in states across the Midwest including Arkansas, Illinois, Tennessee, and Iowa.
The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences hospital, the state’s only major trauma center, declared a level-1 mass casualty alert after the tornado struck Little Rock.
On Friday evening, a local area hospital reported treating at least 21 patients with 5 in critical condition, all victims of the tornado that touched down in the Little Rock area.
The tornadoes have splintered homes and flattened entire neighborhoods, overturned vehicles, and tossed trees and debris onto roads as people raced for shelter.
Roofs and walls were ripped away from many buildings, trees were uprooted, and vehicles flipped over.
In Belvidere Illinois, twenty-eight people were injured and one was killed after high winds caused a roof to collapse on concertgoers gathered to see heavy metal band, Morbid Angel.
The twister was spawned by one of the numerous violent thunderstorms raking a vast swath of the U.S. heartland as part of a much larger expanse of extreme spring weather.
‘We’re operating in red status, with all hands on deck,’ said Aaron Gilkey, spokesperson for the Metropolitan Emergency Medical Services (MEMS) agency.
