Tornadoes tear through central US

At least two people have died in hard-hit Wynne, Arkansas, as a result of tornadoes that have torn through the area, St. Francis County Coroner Miles Kimble confirmed to CNN.

That’s in addition to an earlier report of one person dead in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

Kimble is assisting the coroner’s office in Wynne, which is located in Cross County.

CNN has reached out to the Cross County coroner’s office.

Footage from Wynne shows significant damage, with roofs ripped off of homes and a local school and trees uprooted and tossed across roadways. The town was “cut in half by damage from east to west,” Wynne Mayor Jennifer Hobbs told CNN.
