0537 AM TORNADO 2 WNW WILLISVILLE 33.52N 93.34W
03/07/2026 NEVADA AR LAW ENFORCEMENT
*** 1 INJ ***
DURING THE MORNING HOURS ON SAT, MAR 7, 2026 A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM PRODUCED AN EF-2 TORNADO
WITH PEAK WINDS OF 125 MPH JUST WEST OF
WILLISVILLE, ARKANSAS. THE FIRST SIGN OF DAMAGE
FROM THE TORNADO WAS SEEN JUST SOUTH OF THE
INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY 32 AND COUNTY ROAD 9
NEAR A LARGE OPEN FIELD. THE TORNADO BROUGHT
DOWN MULTIPLE LARGE TREES BEFORE HEADING NORTHWEST
THROUGH A LARGE OPEN FIELD. ON THE FAR NORTHEAST
CORNER OF THE FIELD IS WHERE TREE DAMAGE PICKED UP
AGAIN, BEFORE TRACKING ACROSS HIGHWAY 32 JUST TO
THE WEST OF COUNTY ROAD 17.THE MORE SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGE WAS FOUND NEAR COUNTY ROAD 122, COUNTY
ROAD 17, AND COUNTY ROAD 1702 WHERE NUMEROUS
STRUCTURES SUSTAINED DAMAGE. A SINGLE WIDE
RESIDENCE WAS LIFTED OFF THE ROOTED FOUNDATION
AND TOSSED AROUND 100 FEET BEFORE LANDING AND BEING
COMPLETELY DESTROYED. THERE WAS ONE OCCUPANT IN THE
RESIDENCE WHO THANKFULLY WALKED AWAY FROM THE
INCIDENT WITH MINOR INJURIES. IT WAS AT THIS
LOCATION THAT THE TORNADO WAS RATED AN EF-2 WITH MAX
WINDS OF 125 MPH. THE TORNADO THEN WENT THROUGH
ANOTHER GROVE OF TREES BEFORE CROSSING COUNTY ROAD 17
JUST NORTH OF COUNTY ROAD 1702 WHERE IT DESTROYED A
SMALL GARAGE/STORAGE UNIT. DAMAGE FROM THIS UNIT WAS
SCATTERED ALL THROUGHOUT AN OPEN FIELD ALL THE WAY TO
COUNTY ROAD 124. IT ALSO BROUGHT DOWN A NUMBER OF
VERY LARGE TREES AS IT CROSSED THE ROAD. AS THE
TORNADO CROSSED OVER COUNTY ROAD 124, IT APPEARS TO
HAVE STARTED TO LIFT, AS DAMAGE WAS MORE SPORADIC IN
AN WIDE OPEN FIELD. THE ADJACENT TREE LINE AT THE END
OF THE FIELD ALONG THE PATH OF THE TORNADO HAD A FEW
TREES DOWN, BUT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE TORNADO
REMAINED ON THE GROUND FROM THIS POINT.
