'Life-Threatening' Floods Leave Buildings, Vehicles Submerged in North Arkansas

Buildings and vehicles were submerged in deep water as the National Weather Service reported 'life-threatening flash flooding' in Hardy, northern Arkansas, on Saturday morning, April 5. This video from Joey Nania, a competitive fisherman who posts under the moniker ''Joey Fishing,'': shows floodwaters from Forty Island Creek nearly reaching the roof of an antiques store, and leaving a vehicle half-submerged and a Valero gas station surrounded by water. Nania said he was driving home to Alabama from the St. Croix Bassmaster Open on Norfork Lake, west of Hardy, when he encountered the route blocked by flooding. The contest had been ended early due to the heavy rainfall, local media reported. 'This is really bad,' Nania says in the video. 'We've got to pray for these people, and anyone driving home from the Bassmaster Open, be safe. This is not good.' The National Weather Service in Little Rock reposted Nania's video on X, and said: 'Please, we beg you not to travel, unless it is absolutely necessary! The magnitude of flash flooding taking place in portions of the state is catastrophic. More rain likely to fall.' Speaking to Storyful later on Saturday morning, Nania said they had 'made it through before it got too bad' and that he was almost home in Birmingham, Alabama.
