One person died in an Arkansas nursing home that was among the buildings torn apart Friday by a series of devastating tornadoes that cut a 200-mile-long path of destruction through two states and left dozens dead.

The twister struck the 86-bed Monette Manor nursing home in the small town of Monette in northeast Arkansas, at about 8:15 p.m., killing one person and temporarily trapping 20 people inside as the building collapsed, Craighead County Judge Marvin Day told The Associated Press.

Some residents survived by hiding in the basement — “and were prepared for this,” he said.

Five had serious injuries, and a few others had minor ones, Day said. He had earlier said that two people were killed in the incident but revised the number down after receiving further information.

Gov. Asa Hutchinson toured the scene of destruction Saturday. He saw the building, with its roof torn off and collapsed walls exposing residents’ rooms. Debris and items like wheelchairs and hospital beds littered the area.

Another nursing home about 20 miles (32 kilometers) away in Truman was badly damaged but no deaths were reported. The residents were evacuated because the building is unsafe.

Mississippi County Sheriff Dale Cook also said early Saturday that a woman was also killed in Leachville, Arkansas, due to the tornado, KAIT-Jonesboro reported.

The region saw widespread damage from the storms, which included at least eight tornadoes, the station reported. Power lines were down through much of the region, with at least 23,000 homes and businesses in the state dark as of Saturday morning, according to the tracking site PowerOutage.US.
