Strong storms moved through northwest Arkansas late Monday afternoon, with reports of tornadoes and damage in some places.

Little Flock Mayor Jeff Van Sickler said 13th Street and Dixieland Road were hit and trees were down. He said he had received a report that a house had been destroyed, but had yet to confirm.

It is the second time this year that Little Flock has been hit hard by severe weather. The town was hit by the storm on May 26, which destroyed Little Flock City Hall.

The city is working to open the road back up, Van Sickler said.

“There’s a lot going on and I’m still trying to get some information,” he said.

Robert McGowen, Benton County’s director of public safety, said he had heard two homes were destroyed in Little Flock, but had not yet confirmed the information. He said a tornado touched down in the Little Flock/Rogers area.

Lt. Shannon Jenkins, spokeswoman for the Benton County Sheriff’s Office, said Monday night that she only heard that some trees were down.

The city of Siloam Springs reported a “significant weather event” Monday afternoon, prompting the activation of the city’s Emergency Operations Center at Level 2, according to a news release from Sgt. DeAndra Bartley of the Siloam Springs Police Department.

There are power outages throughout the city, power line damage, debris on roads and some flooding, according to the news release. All city departments are aware of the issues, which are addressed by level of safety and importance, according to the release.

The Siloam Springs police chief and fire chief are asking everyone to stay home if possible, away from danger areas, the statement said.

“If you encounter downed power lines, please call 911 immediately. DO NOT attempt to remove downed power lines yourself,” the release said.

The county emergency department was checking reports of storm damage, but nothing had been confirmed as of 5:15 p.m., he said.

All students in the Springdale School District made it home and are being accounted for, district spokesman Trent Jones said in a phone interview at 6 p.m. That required flexibility from the district’s transportation department, which moved along bus routes in the western part of the district only when weather conditions permitted, he said.

“I’m very proud of the way the parents, the students and everyone have rallied,” he said. “We were able to be flexible at the end of the day.”

The district transports more than 8,000 students per school day, he said.
