We just got done intercepting a tornadic supercell with a confirmed tornado around the De Witt, AR area when we ran across some wind damage. The damage is not believed to be a tornado, but could be damaging straight line winds. A semi was overturned, appeared to be insulation in the street, and other various sheet metal in close proximity to the semi. Upon arriving we saw multiple and long lived power flashes.

Nothing significant from what we could see.
