A monster tornado has ripped apart Arkansas capital Little Rock, just a week after more than two dozen deadly twisters tore through Mississippi and parts of Alabama killing at least 26.

Footage of the ferocious weather system was filmed from the 7th floor of the Little Rock Baptist Medical Center. The person filming could be heard gasping at the massive swirling twister.

A man, who appeared unaware of the vortex, was filmed standing on the roof of another building as the powerful tornado – which reportedly reached level 3 or ‘mass casualty’ strength – travelled towards him.

[Oh, the horror- dear GOD. A friend is a nurse at Uof AR medical and got the alert about a mass casualty incident. We were praying it was a precaution when it happned. It was a prelude. ~ Beege]
