Bob Blankenship, mayor of Monette, Arkansas, told CNN that his town was in a “daze” after a tornado ripped through the area overnight. Two deaths were reported as of this morning in Monette and one in a nearby town, Blankenship said Saturday. “It’s just a lot of devastation that we have not seen in my years of working in emergency services,” Blankenship said. “I’ve always had the fear of it coming to my hometown, seeing the devastation in other towns through the years but always just in fear of it hitting here and reality hit last night.”“We’re still without power. Shower units and feeding units will come in shortly this morning from different organizations to help us,” Blankenship added.
Blankenship praised the warning system that is in place for residents, saying it saved a lot of lives. He said the system was activated approximately 15-20 minutes before the storm was detected 20 miles from Monette. He also said that “sister cities” are helping Monette with this emergency.“We could hear the outside forces,” Blankenship said. “I always heard people say it sounded like a train or something to that effect and I thought, ‘it’s over for us right now.
