At Least Three Tornadoes In Thursday’s Midwestern Storms

Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."

The National Weather Service has confirmed at least three tornadoes as part of a massive storm system that hit the Midwest on Thursday.

At least one injury was reported when a home was struck in west of Oden, Arkansas. Arkansas Emergency Management reported having trouble reaching the location because of the number of trees blocking on the road. Property damage and power lines are down across the region.

The tornadoes in northeast Oklahoma struck near Perkins and Ripley. Officials from both locations reported no injuries and only minor damage.

The storms also brought heavy rain, flash flooding and hail.

“Right now we’ve been getting a few thunderstorms, but they’re very severe supercell thunderstorms,” said Michael Scotten, a meteorologist with the National Weather Services. “The whole storm rotates, and they produce on occasion some tornadoes and heavy hail.”
