It was 11 years ago on February 5, 2008 when 12 tornadoes cause extensive damage in Arkansas, killing 14 people.
One of those tornadoes actually tracked 122 miles through the Ozark mountains, destroying property in Atkins, Clinton, Highland and Mountain View as well as smaller towns in those counties.
That tornado was also the longest tracked tornado in Arkansas history. The starting point of the tornado was 5.6 miles east-southeast of Centerville in Yell County. It finally dissipated 3.2 miles northeast of Highland in Sharp County, which is roughly 21 miles from the Arkansas-Missouri border.
The rating for the tornado was initially at least an EF3. A member of a Quick Response Team visited Arkansas on the February 8 to look at some of the worst damage along the track. In the end, the rating was upgraded to EF4.
The Weather Channel has ranked the tornado outbreak as the seventh deadliest in U.S. history.
