Pulaski, the town this property stands in, in 24 storm reports between 2006 and 2025: 12 thunderstorm wind, 6 flash flood, 4 hail, 1 lightning.
The reports record 1 death and 2 injuries. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
A 17 year-old male was stuck and killed by lightning while standing under a large pine tree in the 1800 block of South Jackson Street (about 3 miles west-southwest of downtown Little Rock). Males 13 and 14 years old were injured. The lightning strike occurred just as the storm was moving into the area. Lightning detection equipment showed very few cloud-to-ground strikes with this particular storm.
A concrete-lined drainage ditch along MacArthur Drive caved in. The parking lot outside of a hardware store subsequently caved in and flooding damaged merchandise stacked outside the store. On the other side of the ditch, about a dozen cars were flooded outside a pawn shop and one of the cars floated down the ditch. Condominiums on Scenic Hill were damaged when water flowed down the hill and into the residences. Several other homes were damaged by overflowing drainage ditches. The railroad underpass at Pershing Blvd. and Percy Machin Dr. had several feet of water in it and two cars were submerged in the water. Water entered apartments at Silver City Courts.
Pictures were received of large trees that were blown over on Cedar Hill Rd., one of which was fallen on a house. The house did not appear to be significantly damaged. The time is based on radar data.
Heavy rain caused some street flooding in the area around downtown Little Rock. The rain gauge at the Little Rock airport recorded 0.89 inch of rain between 5:01 and 5:14 PM CDT.
