Unlucky As Hell: Arkansas Buildings Hit By Two Tornadoes Within 11 Days

Talk about unlucky:

During that big severe weather outbreak in the South on Monday, some buildings in England, Arkansas were hit by a tornado. Those very same buildings were hit by another tornado just 11 days earlier.

According to a report from the National Weather Service in Little Rock, Arkansas, an EF-1 tornado packing winds of up to 90 mph damaged the structures. The tornado that hit on October 2 was of similar strength.

I don't think I've ever heard of two tornadoes going over the same spot within two weeks of each other.

The Monday tornado tore down a fence at a home at which the owner had barely replaced because the previous one was destroyed on Oct 2, television station KARK reported. 

I think the homeowner should just give up on fences.

The Arkansas storms were part of a large outbreak of bad weather that prompted 326 reports of severe weather, including 18 tornadoes, according to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center. 

Luckily, or at least I hope, Arkansas is done with severe weather for a little while at least.
