Tornadoes strike Arkansas and Illinois, killing at least 7 people
On February 29th, 2020, a devastating tornado outbreak struck the states of Arkansas and Illinois. At least seven people were killed in the storms, with many more injured and homes destroyed.
The National Weather Service NWS reported that several tornadoes touched down across both states as part of an unusually powerful storm system moving through the region.
The NWS warned residents to take shelter before it was too late; however, some areas were hit without warning due to their remote location or lack of proper communication systems in place for emergency notifications.
In addition to causing destruction on land, these tornadoes also caused damage offshore by creating high waves which led to flooding along coastal towns near Lake Michigan and other bodies of water nearby.
This tragic event serves as a reminder that extreme weather can strike at any time without warning – even when conditions don’t seem dangerous at first glance – so everyone should stay alert during severe weather events like this one and take appropriate safety measures if necessary.
Although this particular storm has passed us by now thankfully no additional fatalities have been reported since then but let’s all keep those affected by this tragedy in our thoughts while we move forward from here together.
