Tornado Cleanup in Caraway
[]
News – 100.5 The Eagle – Jonesboro, AR
Assessment and clean-up from last night’s storm event in Caraway continues today.
The National Weather Service has preliminarily estimated the strength of last night’s tornado as what they called a High EF-1 tornado, containing winds of 86-110 miles an hour.
The tornado, which hit just after 7:30 last night, cut a path from Southwest to Northeast through the heart of Caraway causing major tree and power line damage as well as scattered structural damage.
Although there were initial reports of trick or treat children missing immediately after the storm, Craighead County Sheriff Marty Boyd said all residents were accounted for and no injuries were reported.
The Craighead County Office of Emergency Management has been working with Caraway Mayor Barry Riley, County Judge Ed Hill and others to assess the damage from last night’s tornado, and to begin the process of cleaning up.
