Here is the current situation following the tornadoes in Arkansas one week later
Little Rock, Arkansas – It’s been a week since two EF-3 storms hit Arkansas and destroyed homes, businesses, and everything else in their path.
Central Arkansas is still cleaning up, and there is still a long way to go before things are back to normal.
“We’re just elated and our hearts are warmed by this type of support,” said Kendra Pruitt, Chief of Staff for the Little Rock Mayor’s Office.
After the storm, the City of Little Rock’s main goal has been to clean up.
At 7000 Murray Street, the city has set up a place where people can drop off donations to help those in need.
“What we need most now is baby formula,” Pruitt said. “Also, non-perishable foods; canned goods in the form of meals, [and] not just vegetables, but pop-top ravioli and pasta.”

“There’s going to be a tremendous amount of rebuilding to do,” Hartwick said. “I mean, we had over 1,100 structures hit.”
Hartwick wants to be able to open the park again in a week or two.
This weekend, the curfew in North Little Rock has been moved from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
