One man died in Clay County as rain and strong winds raged across Arkansas on Saturday night, authorities said.
A trailer home in the 4600 block of Arkansas 90 was blown away, Sheriff Terry Miller said. Inside the trailer was 83-year-old Albert Charles Foster, the sheriff said.
Emergency responders found the trailer in a pond, Miller said. Foster, the only person inside the home, was pronounced dead at the scene.
No other details were immediately available.
The National Weather Service received reports of downed trees across a wide swath of the state after the line of storms moved through Saturday afternoon and evening. Several tornado warnings were issued over several hours.
In Mississippi County, the roof was ripped off a hotel west of Osceola, the agency said, and in Craighead County south of Bono, a pavilion was reported to have been destroyed. In Jonesboro, an Arkansas State University men's basketball game was delayed after water leaked into the arena.
At 8:30 p.m., Entergy reported more than 7,100 customers without power, including more than 1,400 in Mississippi County and about 1,900 in Poinsett County.
In Sheridan, the Saturday storms brought the rain total since Tuesday to a whopping 10.75 inches. Several days of downpours across the state mean many rivers will enter moderate to major flood stage in the coming days, the weather service cautioned.
