We got a tornado on the ground. I'm in Little Rock.
Its coming right for me so I'm gonna have to run away really soon.
On March 31st a tornado emergency was issued for Little Rock Arkansas as an ef-3 tornado was tearing through town at 50 mph.
Here comes a conga line.
I'm gonna have to run away or I'm gonna get stuck in this traffic.
Damn. It's right there.
In its 34 mile long wake
at least 2,700 structures, houses, apartments, businesses and churches would be damaged or destroyed.
Yeah, gotta go. Gotta run.
It's gonna creep up behind me.
The tornado would race down this street damaging these homes including this church.
Don't go that way!
I can see the debris in my rear view. It's coming!
You can see it in there. It's a big cone, wedge.
With peak wind speeds estimated at 165 mph,
this long tracking tornado would cause over 50 injuries and miraculously only one fatality was reported.
However, this tornado outbreak was just beginning
and another intense storm was racing directly toward the town Whynn Arkansas.
All right... I see you.
This skinny tornado was observed for a few minutes before appearing to dissipate
but was a grim Harbinger for something much, much more twisted.
That's a big tornado.
It's gonna cross the highway right up here.
Looks like the town might take a direct hit.
Keep going.
Houses look fairly intact.
Just the roofs and the trees are gone.
Looks like EF-3 damage but I'm not getting into the heart of it.
Hold on... What's going on?
I'm coming.
Some woman yelled "there's a woman trapped" and so
I ran into the door with a couple other guys and debris was everywhere and we went room to room and there was nobody in there
and turns out that the neighbor thought they were home
But they weren't even there, thank goodness.
She was holding her dog and I went up to her and tried to comfort her she was obviously in shock
and said, "hey everything's going to be fine. The worst has passed."
and uh...
But anyway, I'm at the hotel now. I don't think I'm out of this yet.
The cell to the north just got burrito warned and you can hear the sirens.
My cell isn't burrito warned yet but I'm getting ready to go take shelter anyway.
Yep, there's a burrito warning we're gonna go find out what the shelter situation is downstairs.
What's the burrito shelter situation?
I don't know. Pack up down here.
is there a room around here... An interior room we can take shelter in?
They just be telling me y'all come down here.
Come down here? Okay.
That ain't shelter. This is shelter.
We're on the bottom floor. We're in the tiny room.
Sitting in the lobby is not shelter.
we got a nice little seat here for us to wait this thing out.
I don't think it's anything. It's just probably going to be some strong RFD winds
but you never know, so...
Let's go out and see if everybody's still there.
That's it.
You get to shelter
You get to shelter.
There you go.
