Meteorologists from the National Weather Service in Little Rock conducted a damage survey in Mena, AR yesterday after a tornado devastated the town Thursday evening. The team has assigned a preliminary rating of EF-3, with a path length of 14.5 miles. TornadoVideos.net streamer Brian Emfinger was also in Mena on Friday covering the damage for KHBS-KHOG TV. He estimated that the path of this tornado was close to a half-mile wide, with the most intense damage found over a 4-6 block area. The photos at right show the remains of a concrete Masonic lodge where one of the three fatalities occurred.
