Event narrative (NOAA)
A violent thunderstorm with downburst winds estimated at 70 to 80 mph lifted and rolled a double wide home on County Road 267 about 3 miles west of Caldwell. The mobile home traveled 70 feet where it finally landed on its roof. The mobile home was completely destroyed. A couple of vehicles were also heavily damaged. The downburst also removed a large part of the roofing material from the Country Hearth Inn near the interchange of Interstate 40 and Highway 1B in Forrest City.
