7 hurt in Arkansas tornado as storms move into Deep South

The trunk of this downed tree that was felled by strong winds on the grounds of the Mississippi Governor's Mansion onto a main intersection of downtown Jackson, awaits removal during an outbreak of severe weather in the state, Wednesday, March 30, 2022. A section of the security fence and the decorative brick wall was damaged by the tree.

In Nashville, Tennessee, paneling fell five stories from the side of a downtown hotel Wednesday evening and onto a roof of a building below. The fire department warned the debris could become airborne as high winds continued, and some hotel guests were moved to other parts of the building due to concerns that the roof would become unstable. No injuries were immediately associated with the collapse.

Rander P. Adams said his and his wife, Janice Delores Adams, were in their home near downtown Jackson when severe weather blew through during a tornado warning Wednesday afternoon. He said their lights flashed and they heard a loud whistling noise.“The glass broke just as if someone threw a brick through it,” he said. “I advised her then, ‘Let’s go to the back of the house.’”

The National Weather Service said that tornado would be rated “at least EF-2,” which would mean wind speeds reached 111-135 mph .
