Event narrative (NOAA)
A tornado began in the western part of Little Rock, just west of the intersection of Interstate 630 and John Barrow Rd. It traveled through the Leawood subdivision of Little Rock and the city of Cammack Village, dropped off a bluff into Murray Park, crossed the Arkansas River, and ended in North Little Rock near the soccer fields in Burns Park. The vast majority of damage from this tornado was due to large trees falling on houses and vehicles. The approximate count of houses included six destroyed, 98 with major damage, and 170 with minor damage. In addition, four businesses had major damage and three had minor damage. Eleven apartments also suffered damage.
