Tornadoes were spotted in Arkansas, Illinois and Iowa; on Saturday, March 28, thunderstorms erupted in the area. Strong winds and tornadoes were also recorded in Indiana.

The National Meteorological Service said it was still evaluating the damage and determining the strength of the tornado. Among the sites that suffered were a shopping center in Jonesboro (Arkansas), and a residential building in the northeastern Iowa community in Oelvin.

In Jonesboro, most stores were closed due to problems with the coronavirus, which helped minimize the number of tornado injuries.

«Нам известно о 18 раненых, двое были госпитализированы. Слава Богу, обошлось без жертв», — сказал судья округа Крейгхед Марвин Дэй.

Triber said the train crew was not injured. Workers cleared the site and trains resumed operations at about 09:00 on Sunday, March 29.
