Gassville, AR Tornado

This tornado was on the western edge of an outbreak of storms which has been nicknamed the "Super Tuesday Outbreak" because it occurred on a huge presidential primary night.

Gassville was hit by an EF2 tornado at about 5:10 that evening.

Another powerful EF4 tornado tore a record path through Arkansas, striking Mtn. View and Ash Flat among other locations.
