VAN BUREN, Ark. — Three tornados brought on widespread destruction this week in Crawford County.
The lawn of Crawford County Courthouse has been cleaned off and looks much better than it did earlier this week, but the cleanup efforts inside the courthouse are far from over.
“There was a relief when I rounded the street, and the clock tower was still there,” says Crawford County Judge Dennis Gilstrap.
