Jeff Presley, director of the city's E-911 center, said the tornado did major damage to the Mall at Turtle Creek and Jonesboro Municipal Airport. He said three people had been reported injured and hospitalized as of Saturday afternoon.

“Police are doing search and rescue on vehicles right now,” Presley said. “We have red lights out all over town as well.”

Sure hope DUers in that area are safe!

Presley said the emergency response facility also received reports of multiple gas leaks in subdivisions within the city and that a train had been blown off the tracks at Airport Road.
