November 24, 1921

A deadly tornado struck near the town of Wickes (Polk County), killing eight people. While April suffers the most tornadoes on average (291), late fall and winter tornadoes are not at all uncommon in Arkansas. The state also has many night tornadoes, in part due to early sunsets during the winter, but tornadoes in Arkansas occur primarily between the hours of 5:00 and 6:00 p.m.
