North Little Rock e-Newsletter Provided by Diane Whitbey, City Clerk and Treasurer
May 2023
Friday, March 31, 2023, at 2:29 p.m. a strong (possibly) EF3 tornado arrived in North Little Rock. The path was approximately 5.7 miles long and 400 yards wide. Hundreds of residences and businesses had been damaged. Power went out immediately for approximately 15,000 North Little Rock Electric Customers. At 2:33 p.m. the first 911 call was received. The city opened its Emergency Operations Center at 2:45 p.m. City staff began heading to the multiple areas of our city that suffered damage. Throughout this newsletter are photos found on Facebook, or taken by city employees and volunteers. A big shout out to Aaron Stone for the pictures and drone footage he shared on his personal page. “Where’s Mel”? We are pausing the seek and find this month, but Mel will back in hiding next month!
