There was significant damage from at least two likely tornadoes yesterday in the Midwest and South. The first was in the Clinton, AR area:
I tweeted a couple of times yesterday afternoon regarding the strong circulation on radar near Clinton, as shown in this radar snapshot. The tornadic circulation is circled in white, and according to the radar was spinning at over 110 mph at the time:
A second likely tornado touched down in the Hazelwood, MO area, a suburb on the Northwest side of St. Louis:
There were also widespread 75-80 mph winds across much of the metro area, as indicated in this radar snapshot that I tweeted yesterday evening:
I'll have more on both of these events as additional information is received today...so please check back for updates. If you're reading this later in the day, please be sure to check the homepage of the blog for new posts.
