Tornadoes kill 16 in Arkansas, 1 in Oklahoma

VILONIA, Ark. (AP) - Three years after a tornado devastated the Little Rock suburb of Vilonia, its residents again huddled in storm cellars as the most powerful twister this year carved an 80-mile path of destruction through suburbs north of the state capital, killing at least 16 people. Emergency officials began to pick through the rubble to look for survivors as the sun rose this morning. The tornado that touched down around 7 p.m. Sunday about 10 miles west of Little Rock grew to be half a mile wide and remained on the ground for much of that route, authorities said.
