A tornado ripped through Cave City, Arkansas on Friday night, causing injuries to at least five people as part of a severe weather outbreak. The town bore the brunt of the tornado strike, resulting in significant damage and prompting Mayor Jonas Anderson to declare a state of emergency. Although initial reports indicated five individuals were hurt, three of whom were taken to a local hospital, there were no reported fatalities, which Anderson described as a “miracle from God” in a storm update on Facebook. Despite stopping natural gas leaks triggered by the storm, widespread power outages are still affecting the area. Emergency services are expected to be impacted for the foreseeable future, requiring cooperation and prayers from the community. While the tornado threat has subsided in Arkansas, the Deep South remains at risk for violent tornadoes and hurricane-force wind gusts. Tragically, the severe weather outbreak has already claimed lives in Missouri, with reports of tornado damage emerging from Indiana and Mississippi.
