National Weather Service meteorologists are planning an aerial survey today of the destruction caused by at least 10 tornadoes late last week.
Friday’s tornadoes killed seven people, damaged or destroyed about 400 homes and knocked out electrical and telephone service in nearly 20 counties. One tornado may have traveled as much as 45 miles, officials said.
The tornadoes killed six people in central Arkansas, and a seventh person died before dawn Friday in the northwestern corner of the state.
As the storm system moved east on Friday, numerous tornadoes were reported in Tennessee and Mississippi.
