The destructive weather came as President Joe Biden toured the aftermath of a deadly tornado that struck in Mississippi one week ago and promised the government would help the area recover.
PUBLISHED 5:15 PM EDT Mar. 31, 2023LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A monster storm system tore through the South and Midwest on Friday, spawning deadly tornadoes that shredded homes and shopping centers in Arkansas, collapsed a theater roof during a heavy metal concert in Illinois and made a deadly sweep across the border into rural Indiana.
The collapse occurred at the Apollo Theatre during a heavy metal concert in the town located about 70 miles northwest of Chicago. “They dragged someone out from the rubble and 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.” Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock officials told KATV in the afternoon that 21 people had checked in there with tornado-caused injuries, including five in critical condition.
“It’s just like everyone says. It got really quiet, then it got really loud,” Scott said afterward, as chainsaws roared and sirens blared in the area.“Praying for all those who were and remain in the path of this storm,” Sanders, who declared a state of emergency, said on Twitter. City Councilmember Lisa Powell Carter told AP that the town Wynne was without power and roads were full of debris.
