| Mother nature does not care about politics. |
I guess critical race theory is more dangerous than mother nature. I guess drag queens and transgender Americans pose a greater threat than an EF3, EF4 or catastrophic EF5 tornadoes. Climate change is real but Republicans call that a hoax. Uh, look at the damages weather events leave behindl
Somebody wake Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders up!
Oops, she hate woke.
Huckabee Sanders, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. John Boozeman (R-AR), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Rep. French Hill (R-AR), Rep. Steve Womack (R-AR), Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AR), Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR) are notified.
The Republicans will take their heads out their asses and beg Biden and the federal emergency assistance agencies to help them. Just like Mississippi, Republicans care when it affects their pathetic lives.
Significant damage has occurred in Central Arkansas. I’m in constant communication with AR State Police and @AR_Emergencies who are working with local law enforcement to assist anyone injured. Praying for all those who were and remain in the path of this storm.

Arkansans must…
Here at the Capitol I just signed an executive order declaring that a State of Emergency exists in the State of Arkansas due to today’s severe weather. We will spare no resource to assist with response and recovery efforts for Arkansans impacted. pic.twitter.com/FsY47vOusn

Little Rock, North Little Rock, Jacksonville, Camack Village and most of Pulaski County were hit with deadly tornadoes.
The city of Little Rock has a population of 157,000.
About 45% of the city’s population is Black.
Little Rock was hit by what's being described as a "catastrophic" tornado by meteorologists on Friday, March 31 as severe storms moved throughout Arkansas.
The day was active as Arkansas saw a powerful storm move through the state that saw several tornado warnings and potential tornados in other towns.
There's been reports of lots of damage in the Little Rock metro area and we are working to confirm the extent of the damage.
At least two tornados have been confirmed as of 3:40 p.m.
UAMS officially declared a mass casualty event following the tornado. We are working to confirm any further injuries or deaths.
