Six people have been reported dead after a tornado tore through the southern US state of Arkansas.
According to the Governor of the State, the tornado went through the state, causing a major widespread damage.
Sanders stated that two individuals were killed in Wynne, which is located in eastern Arkansas, while an official in Pulaski County, which surrounds the state capital of Little Rock, verified a death in the area.
“Significant damage has occurred in Central Arkansas,” Sanders wrote on Twitter.
Tornado watches were issued for regions of Tennessee, Illinois, Kentucky, and Iowa by the National Weather Service.
Also, it was reported that calamity struck Belvidere, Illinois, when severe weather caused the roof and part of the facade of the Apollo Theatre to collapse while a heavy metal band played on stage inside.
“More than 20 ambulances were reportedly called to the scene,” Fox 32, a Chicago TV affiliate, reported on its website.
