Farms Faced Major Infrastructure Damage
The tornadoes tore through the agricultural heartland, an area filled with farms housing grain, crops, and livestock. In Kentucky, the storm destroyed massive grain bins and several chicken hatcheries and severely damaged a University of Kentucky research facility. The image above shows the toll the storm took on a farmhouse in Monette, Arkansas.
“It’s just a lot of devastation that we have not seen in my years of working in emergency services,” Bob Blankenship, Monette’s mayor, told CNN.
