Businesses and homes suffered damage and a citywide curfew was announced in northeastern Arkansas after a tornado ripped through the area on Saturday afternoon, injuring at least three people. The force of the tornado was so great that it sent debris some four miles high, according to experts who analyzed the data. The National Weather Service tweeted a video from the Arkansas Department of Transportation that showed a large tornado dropping from storm clouds in Jonesboro. Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson said on Saturday that he was 'paying close attention to the report of a tornado hit in Jonesboro. 'This is a health crisis we're facing in Arkansas, but it is also a financial crisis for many Arkansans,' Hutchinson said.
