Lots of Tornado Warnings Several Days Ago

Beginning in the evening hours of Sunday, October 20th and extending into Monday, October 21st, over 60 counties experienced a Tornado Warning — some more life-threatening than others. At the time of issuing these warnings, the U.S. National Weather Service noted that a "Damaging Tornado" affected several counties in southern Missouri (particularly Christian, Webster, and Wright counties) and in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area. Thankfully, no one died in these life-threatening tornadoes and storms. Unfortunately, several people in Arkansas and Oklahoma passed away due to circumstances surrounding severe thunderstorms.

● Arkansas: Benton, Carroll, Crittenden, Howard, Jefferson, Mississippi, Poinsett, Sevier, and Washington counties
