Arkansas City Surveys Tornado’s Wreckage After Direct Hit

WYNNE, Ark.—Mike Ellis saw one tornado in Little Rock from his father’s ninth-floor hospital room and worried about his mom, who uses a walker and was home alone in Wynne, so he rushed to her house Friday in time for a second tornado.

He and his 18-year-old son had barely pulled into the driveway when the sirens started to go off. Mr. Ellis helped his mother into a bathroom closet before grabbing a mattress to shield his son and himself as they took cover in a hallway. In a few minutes the tornado was over them.
