Tornado kills 18

Tornadoes killed at least 18 people including 10 in Arkansas on Monday. 30 tornadoes were reported having touched down in seven different states on Monday. These tornadoes are from a severe storm line heading towards the Kentucky and Tennessee area.  In Vilonia Arkansas where the twister killed 10 residents, it completely leveled their whole town. The half-mile wide tornado left a 30 mile track through their town. Among the damage in Arkansas was a new $14 million dollar school building that has to completely be rebuilt due to the damage. The Sheriff of Vilonia was reported saying that he expects the death toll to rise as the debris is searched and cleared away.
