At least 14 were reported killed in Little Rock, alone, in the wake of the powerful twister that cut an 80-mile path through the Arkansas capital's suburbs.

Gov. Mike Beebe remarked that the storm may have been the worst he's seen. "…we haven't done any records checking," he said, "but it looks like this is the largest loss of life that we've seen in one tornado incident since I've been governor."
