Prairie Grove crews assessing damage after storm
City hit by heavy rain, winds
Prairie Grove crews are assessing the damage after a storm blew through the city Monday night, bringing heavy rain and winds. The storm caused downed trees and power lines, and some streets were flooded.
The National Weather Service said the storm brought winds of up to 60 mph to the area. The storm also dumped more than 2 inches of rain in a short period of time, causing some streets to flood.
Crews working to restore power, clear debris
City crews are working to restore power and clear debris from the storm. They are asking residents to stay away from downed power lines and to report any damage to the city.
The city is also asking residents to conserve water as the storm has caused the city's water treatment plant to lose power.
The storm is the latest in a series of severe weather events to hit the area in recent weeks. A tornado touched down in nearby Springdale last week, causing significant damage.
