filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
The roof was blown off the National Guard Armory. Water poured inside, collecting two inches deep on the floor. Numerous trees were blown down in Dardanelle.
A weak tornado touched down briefly to the southwest of Dardanelle. The only notable damage along the path of the tornado were a number of downed trees and others where their tops were twisted off. The tornado was witnessed and photographed by a visitor to a nearby state park.
As one weak tornado dissipated in northern Yell County, another one formed 4 to 5 miles southwest of Dardanelle. The new tornado caused mostly tree damage, with trees downed or snapped. The tornado eventually tracked into southern Pope County.
Thunderstorm winds downed a number of large trees and power lines. A roll-up garage door was blown in on a building and several portable advertising signs were damaged.
