EF1 tornado in Lonoke County, Arkansas

This tornado exited Pulaski County east-southeast of Wampoo and entered Lonoke County west of the England Flying Service Airport. In Lonoke County, a number of power poles were snapped off, a farm fertilizer truck was flipped on its side, a grain trailer was tipped over, and some barns and outbuildings were damaged. In the city of England, falling trees damaged the roofs of several houses.

From the 24th through the 27th, the arrival of a slow-moving cold front and several low pressure areas aloft triggered several rounds of thunderstorms. Tornadoes, severe storms, and flash flooding resulted. Widespread areal flooding followed the flash flooding. Some of this flooding was due to heavy rain, while some of it was caused by water from rivers, creeks, and bayous backing up onto the land. On the evening of the 25th, devastating tornadoes affected several areas in central Arkansas. More than 140,000 electric customers in Arkansas lost power. Heavy rains during this period were the beginning of the Great Flood of 2011 in Arkansas. Much of the flooding lasted well into May, and some even continued all the way to late June.
