Multiple apps are available that have severe weather alerts on them. All of the local news stations have apps for weather also. Don't rely on outdoor sirens as your only source for an alert. They are only meant to alert those outdoors within range of the siren.

With the incoming potential severe weather, all tornado sirens have been checked and are working. The only siren out of service is the one at Timbo, which was struck by lightning and has not been replaced.
Please stay weather aware and have multiple ways to receive warnings.
Please note that outdoor warning sirens are only to alert people who are outside. Dont rely on that as your only option!

UPDATE🌪️The NWS has confirmed that the Fifty-Six/Larkin EF-4 tornado was actually the same tornado that passed through Ravenden Springs, eventually crossing into Missouri on March 14th!

That makes this the 3rd longest tornado track in Arkansas recorded history.
