PARAGOULD, Ark. – An Arkansas community finds itself in the same horrible position it experienced less than a year ago after an EF-2 tornado tore through the same neighborhood, still recovering from an EF-1 twister on Memorial Day.

More than 70 tornadoes have been confirmed across 13 states as part of a severe weather outbreak that tore through America’s Heartland and the South over the weekend. 

The EF-2 tornado that hit Paragould, Arkansas, is one of nine twisters confirmed by National Weather Service offices across the state occurring over Friday and Saturday. At least four injuries were reported from this tornado.

A FOX Weather analysis showed that the path of the March 14 tornado crossed that of the 2024 Memorial Day tornado.
