Todd YakoubianLess than six months after an EF3 tornado cut a path through West Little Rock, a thunderstorm producing winds of up to 80 miles per hour ripped through the same area again this afternoon near Rodney Parham and Breckenridge, knocking down trees and power lines and leaving more than 17,000 people without power.
Meteorologist Todd Yakoubian posted videos on his social media pages of a home under repair from the March tornado that was destroyed today for the second time by the microburst winds.
