episode_narrativeSummary of events for May 17 1999:A large bow echo, a radar signature associated with high winds, moved out of eastern Oklahoma and across northwest Arkansas early on the morning of May 17. Indeed, this line of storms produced widespread wind gusts strong enough to knock down trees and tree branches. By late morning, scattered thunderstorms re-developed across northwest Arkansas, one of which showed strong rotation and produced a brief tornado touchdown in Washington County. By mid-afternoon, an outflow boundary established itself along the Arkansas River valley and acted as a focus for more thunderstorm development. Training of thunderstorm cells along the outflow boundary led to heavy rainfall, though there were some marginally severe thunderstorms that developed along the outflow boundary.
event_narrativeA bolt of lightning knocked the door and several bricks off of a house north of Alma. The bolt ultimately lit fire to and destroyed the house. The house was located in the 7500 block of Mote Road off of US Hwy 71 north of Alma.
