MAYFLOWER, Ark. (AP) - Tornado-stricken Mayflower is to lift its curfew, starting Saturday.
The city has had a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew in place since a deadly tornado ripped through the area Sunday. The curfew will end as of 7 a.m. Saturday.
Mayflower’s animal control office is asking items to help officers deal with stray animals. The office needs one large, four medium and five small dog kennels, chicken feed, straw and collars and leashes.
The city is asking for 42-gallon contractor-grade plastic bags and plastic containers with lids to help with cleanup.
Fifteen people died when the tornado started near Ferndale and continued for about 41 miles to El Paso. The National Weather Service says the twister was a “high-end” EF4, with winds near the top of the 166-200 mph range.
