Tornado Aftermath Captured on Video — Locals Share Damage and Cleanup Updates

In the wake of a powerful storm system that swept through Conway earlier this week, residents took to Facebook to share firsthand footage of the damage—and to rally support for cleanup efforts.

Storm Strikes Conway

The severe weather hit late Sunday night, bringing strong winds, torrential rain, and what many believe to be a tornado touchdown in parts of Faulkner County. While the National Weather Service has not yet confirmed the tornado classification for this specific event, several residents posted real-time video clips showing swirling debris, downed trees, and flickering power lines across neighborhoods.

One video, shared in a local Facebook group, showed shingles being torn from a rooftop near the Tucker Creek Trail area. Another post from the Hendrix Village neighborhood revealed large branches snapped and scattered across front lawns.

“Scariest few minutes of my life. The sound was like a train and the wind ripped our back door open,” one commenter wrote.

Cleanup Underway

By Monday morning, cleanup efforts had already begun, with neighbors helping neighbors clear debris and assess damage. Local contractors and tree services saw a sharp spike in demand, with residents quickly recommending companies that are insured and reliable.
