Severe storms spawned a dozen reported tornadoes in Oklahoma and Arkansas on May 30, injuring at least five people and sending residents scrambling for cover 10 days after a powerful twister killed 24 people in Oklahoma.
In western Arkansas, two people were injured in a tornado near Oden that destroyed a house and downed power lines. Three others were injured in a storm north of Amity, the state emergency management department said.
On Thursday night, storm activity in Arkansas left more than 25,000 customers without power, including nearly 13,000 in metropolitan Little Rock, according to electricity provider Entergy Arkansas. The Little Rock area also had flash flooding, a dispatcher for the city's fire department said.
