LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Authorities say strong winds from
severe thunderstorms destroyed airplane hangars and damaged homes and
vehicles as they moved across Arkansas.
There were no
immediate reports of major injuries with Friday's storms, which knocked
out electric power to thousands of customers.
In Independence
County, the National Weather Service estimated winds were about 80 mph
when they destroyed three hangars and damaged three airplanes at
Batesville Regional Airport. In Desha, falling trees crushed three cars
and damaged two houses.
An emergency dispatcher says the office didn't receive any reports of injuries.
Batesville
radio announcer Michael Ferry says he was in the press box to call a
high school game when winds shattered a window and cut him.
Under 15,000 were without power Saturday.
