Monday Rain and Storms

A large complex of storms swept across Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama Monday and Monday night with strong winds and heavy rainfall in some spot. Well over 300 reports of wind damage were associated with this event, also known as a derecho. Below are the storm reports from Monday into Tuesday morning.


Most reports of wind damage across Arkansas were across North Central, Eastern and Southeast Arkansas.



One of the harder hit areas of the State was the Beebe and Searcy areas, where over 4000 homes at one point were without power.  Strong wind gusts were also reported near The Air Force Base in Jacksonville.



Some spots received some heavy rainfall associated with the storms, not everyone received significant rainfall. Monticello received over 2 inches of rain, while Little Rock National only recorded 0.06".
