In a summary report, the National Weather Service office in Tulsa said the twister, with estimated winds up to 85 mph, touched down at 12:07 a.m. May 19 about 4.3 miles southwest of Bentonville.
The tornado was on the ground for about two minutes as it struck a path about 2 miles long, according to the agency.
Roof damage was reported to a number of homes in Benton County. Large tree limbs also were snapped, and several poles were downed as a result of the tornado-warned storm, the weather service said.
The National Weather Services said 31 tornadoes have touched down in Arkansas this year.
