abc.net.au/news/tornado-little-rock-weather-warnings-united-states/102175612A fierce tornado has blasted through the US city of Little Rock in Arkansas, ripping away roofs and walls, uprooting trees and flipping over vehicles, injuring at least 20 people.
Baptist Health Medical Center received 21 patients from the storm, five of them listed in critical condition, at its two Little Rock-area hospitals, spokesperson Cara Wade said. St Vincent was placed on "external disaster status," meaning that staff were readied to handle a large influx of injuries, according to spokesperson Joshua Cook.No deaths were reported from the twister, spawned by one of a number of thunderstorms sweeping a vast swath of the US heartland as part of a much larger expanse of extreme spring weather.
Local television station KATV said it interviewed one woman who recounted she was visiting a salon when she looked out the window and saw leaves swirling moments before the building's roof was torn off.
