| On the evening of March 12, 2006 about 10-11 PM Benton
County residents were glued to their TV sets watching a strong super cell
come across the Oklahoma line close to Siloam Springs and travel east at a
slight northerly angle toward Centerton, Bentonville, Little Flock, and Pea
Ridge. Nestled in this super cell was an F2 or F3 tornado. It was leveling
everything in its path. It traveled across the country side just below the
heart of Centerton and did a tremendous amount of damage. Some homes were
completely destroyed west of the city some were heavily damaged and hundreds
of trees were splintered and uprooted. |
