Survey Summary:
A tornado developed in southeast Van Buren near South 4th
Street and Wood Street. The tornado moved rapidly northeast into
the area just south of the Baptist Health-Van Buren complex.
A commercial building was damaged, along with multiple homes
on Ozier Street, Mulberry Street, and South 19th Street. Winds
that reached near 105 mph blew in walls, that contained windows,
of two homes. This over-pressured the two homes resulting in one
home losing its entire roof, and the other losing a substantial
portion of its roof.  The tornado quickly dissipated, lasting
approximately one minute. A second tornado developed from the
same area of rotation one to two minutes later and resulted in
damage just east of Van Buren. Separate survey information
is being prepared for that tornado.  There is a third area
of interest near the Port of Van Buren that is being evaluated.
