WREG’s Melissa Moon visited the Memphis International Airport after receiving reports of damage and massive lines there. She met one passenger who said she was on a flight to Dallas when the plane suddenly started shaking. Passengers were told to get off and to shelter in nearby restrooms.

All passengers were then reportedly told to go through screenings again causing long lines.

The airport later tweeted out a statement saying, “While minor damage was sustained, the worst of the weather has now passed and normal operations have resumed at MEM.”

In Arkansas, a woman and a clerk were reportedly injured in Tyronza after seeking shelter from the storm in a gas station. The building sustained severe damage. Video from the scene showed that the roof appears to have blown off the building. Multiple first responders were on the scene.

Across the street, an elementary school and a church both sustained damage. It’s unclear if anyone else was hurt.

The National Weather Service said initial information suggests the damage may have been caused by an EF-1 tornado.

Further west, one person died in northwest Arkansas when a tree fell on a home in Rogers, about 150 miles northwest of Little Rock, according to the Benton County Department of Public Safety. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said “significant storm damage” occurred in northwest Arkansas.

Power was out at the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport in Highfill, about 155 miles northwest of Little Rock. The airport says flights were still departing, though security screenings were being done manually.

The storms also caused damage in Oklahoma and Missouri.
