Officials: 1 dead, dozens injured by tornadoes

? Tornadoes ripping through central Arkansas on Friday killed at least one person, injured more than two dozen others and destroyed several homes, authorities said.

The death was reported in Van Buren County — about 75 miles north of Little Rock — where three mobile homes were destroyed, according to state Department of Emergency Management spokeswoman Renee Preslar. Further details weren’t immediately released.

Teams also were looking for people in a damaged home in nearby Center Ridge, Preslar said.
