CENTRAL ARKANSAS DAMAGED BY TORNADOES A severe weather outbreak on March 1 spawned numerous tornadoes in central Arkansas, leaving 25 people dead and another 400 injured. A strong cold front moved southeast from the central plains where it clashed with a warm, moist airmass moving north from the Gulf of Mexico. Surface air temperatures ahead of the front were in the mid 70's while temperatures behind the front were between 30 and 50 degrees. Surface dewpoint temperatures were in the low 70's ahead of the front and in the 40's behind the front. Doppler radar indicated cloud tops as high as 50,000 feet. A tornado warning was issued by the National Weather Service at 1:45 PM LST, 22 minutes before an F4 tornado (wind speed 207 - 260 mph) tornado touched down in Nevada County. This tornado moved into Clark County and continued northeast toward Arkadelphia causing heavy damage and five deaths as it moved through the center of town. Another F4 tornado touched down at 3:25 LST in Saline County and passed just south of Little Rock. The Shannnon Hills and Vimy Ridge sections were heavily damaged with 10 deaths, mostly in mobile homes or prefabricated housing. A total of 13,485 residential and commercial structures were damaged, including much of Arkadelphia. Left: An aerial view of Arkadelphia indicating the extent of damage incurred by the F4 tornado. More than 1,000 homes and businesses were severely damaged or destroyed.

This home has only one wall remaining and most of its contents are scattered around the neighborhood. Scenes similar to this were common throughout the Arkadelphia area.

It will take months for the city of Arkadelphia to complete its cleanup and rebuilding process.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declared many counties in central Arkansas a disaster area. National Guard troops were deployed to provide help in securing the city.

Large trees were snapped off a few feet from the ground as the tornado moved through Arkadelphia (Photo courtesy of Bob Coats, Arkadelphia, AR) 6 2. SEVERE FLOODING IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY The same storm system that spawned the tornadoes in Arkansas moved into the Ohio valley late on March 1 and caused up to 12 inches of rainfall at some locations in the Ohio Valley. There was severe flash flooding along the Ohio River and many of its tributaries in northern Kentucky and southern Ohio. Some selected rainfall totals (March 1-2) for the area include: Lexington, KY - 7.00", Louisville, KY - 7.41", Williamstown, KY - 12.00”, Belton, KY - 9.25". The severe flooding event caused 30 deaths including 16 in Kentucky, 5 in Ohio, 3 each in west Virginia and Tennessee, 2 in Missouri and 1 in Indiana. Most of these deaths were caused by drivers attempting to drive across a water covered roadway and being drowned when their vehicle was swept downstream by swift moving water. Thousands of homes were evacuated and property damage was significant. Total damage to commercial and private property has been estimated near $1 Billion. Left: This house in Falmouth, KY along the Licking River was pushed from its foundation by the strong force of the moving water.

  • Final Environmental Impact Statement Daniel Boone National Forest Chapter 3
    Chapter 3 Daniel Boone National Forest Resource Programs RECREATION Affected Environment Introduction Daniel Boone National Forest Market Area The Daniel Boone National Forest is characterized by an outstanding variety of land features such as artificial lakes, mountains, rivers and streams, arches, cliffs, caves, a wide variety of vegetative types, and outstanding scenery that enhances and supports heavy recreational use. Because of its location along major roads such as Interstate 75, Interstate 64, the Cumberland Parkway, and the Daniel Boone Parkway, the Forest is readily accessible to people in Tennessee, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, and Illinois. The recreation market has two segments: • Local users in close proximity to the Forest. Most of these are from a predominantly rural or small town environment. In some cases local users include people from larger cities such as Lexington, Covington, and Ashland, Kentucky. • Users from surrounding, more highly populated, areas less than one-half day’s travel or one tank of gasoline away. This user segment stretches east to Charleston, West Virginia, south to Knoxville, Tennessee, north to Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, and west to Louisville, Kentucky, and Nashville, Tennessee. Within the Daniel Boone National Forest market area the following recreation areas compete for recreation visitors: National Areas: Big South Fork River and Recreation Area, Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, and Mammoth Cave National Park. Large Lakes: Cave Run Lake, Laurel River Lake, Cumberland Lake, Dale Hollow Lake, Herrington Lake, Green River Lake, Grayson Lake, Dewey Lake, Buckhorn Lake, Fishtrap Lake, Kincaid Lake, and Paintsville Lake in Kentucky; Douglas Lake, Cherokee Lake, and Norris Lake, in Tennessee; Caesar Creek Lake, East Fork Lake, Rocky Fork Lake, and Paint Creek Lake in Ohio; Beach Fork Lake and E.
