Event narrative

A large tree was blown down on Bradley County Road 34.

Wider weather episode

It was warmer on the 24th (temperatures in the 70s), and our luck began to run out. A large hail/isolated tornado episode in Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana transitioned into strong to damaging winds (and trees down) in our neck of the woods.

In western into central Arkansas, trees were toppled at Aplin (Perry County), Cabot (Lonoke County), Roland (Pulaski County), Rover (Yell County), Ward (Lonoke County), and Woodlawn (Lonoke County). At Vilonia (Faulkner County), part of the metal roof on a church was torn off. A 65 mph gust was measured at the Little Rock Air Force Base (Pulaski County).
