The National Weather Service (NWS) is reporting harsh weather conditions across the country. Spanning from Northern Utah to Arkansas, weather fronts are causing concern for many individuals.
Aggressive weather has attacked several southern states for a second straight night killing one person in Arkansas. This comes a day after a series of strong storms killed 10 people in floods and a tornado. The damage and destruction are leaving families digging out of rubble and forcing many cope with the devastation, according toWashington Post.
Lightning has obliviously struck twice, as the cold front, which moved through the Wasatch Front Monday night, struck a weather tower for the second time in eight years. The tower is located near Promontory Point across from the Great Salt Lake. The radar tracking system was knocked offline after lightning hit it on Monday.
Repairs to the radar system were completed Tuesday afternoon and the site was back up and running within 24 hours of the lightning strike. Most of the media outlets in the region were affected by the outage, according to KLS.
But the damages don’t stop there. A possible tornado is blamed for Warrick County destruction which included stripping away siding from homes and tearing down power lines in a nearby subdivision. National Weather Service meteorologist Michael York says radar showed “strong indications of a tornado for a short period of time” between Lynnville and Boonville, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The storms are moving swiftly through the midwestern and southern states. The NWS is keeping a close watch on future storms and suggesting viewers to stay tuned for further news at NWS.
