Storms that dropped possibly dozens of tornadoes killed at least 26 people in small towns and big cities across the South and Midwest, tearing a path through the Arkansas capital.

Other deaths from the storms that hit Friday night into Saturday were reported in Alabama and Mississippi, along with one near Little Rock, Arkansas, where city officials said more than 2,600 buildings were in a tornado's path. “We could feel the house shaking, we could hear loud noises, dishes rattling. And then it just got calm,” she said.
“The majority of the damage has been done to homes and residential areas,” said David Leckner, the mayor of Adamsville. Jeffrey Day said he called his daughter after seeing on the news that their community of Adamsville was being hit. Huddled in a closet with her 2-year-old son as the storm passed over, she answered the phone screaming.After the storm passed, his daughter crawled out of her destroyed home and over barbed wire and drove to nearby family. On Saturday evening, baby clothes were still strewn about the site.
“I sat with him and I held his hand and I was , ‘It’s going to be OK.’ I didn’t really know much else what to do," concertgoer Gabrielle Lewellyn told WTVO-TV. That tornado was not far from where three people died in Indiana's Sullivan County, about 95 miles southwest of Indianapolis.
