It wasn’t quite biblical, but the rainfall was both impressive and messy this past week in Pulaski County and across the rest of the state.
The National Weather Service office in North Little Rock reported that the multi-day total, spanning from Wednesday through Saturday, was 12.91 inches in the city.
Flooding in North Little Rock’s Dark Hollow neighborhood.
It was the highest reported total in Pulaski County and among the highest in the state.
The rain caused extensive flooding across Maumelle and North Little Rock with flash flooding reports in both cities, as well as extended damage in North Little Rock.
City government officials in North Little Rock asked for help in identifying damaged homes and buildings in the city. That information can be reported by email to nlrstormdamagereport@nlrpolice.org.
The city asked that the following information be included in ant report:
Address of the damage
Description of the damage
Photos are optional but would be helpful. If you do not have photos, someone from the city will be sent to photograph the damage.
Questions can also be sent to the same email.
The storms, with straight line, sustained winds of 60 miles per hour, also caused extensive damage to power lines.
For many, the power went off Saturday morning and returned until the following afternoon.
Those were the lucky ones.
For some businesses, on Monday, it made for a strange sight to see people doing hang cleans at the gym in the dark, as they were only lit by open doors.
According to poweroutage.us, there’s still 1,579 customers without electricity. That figure includes both residential and commercial, with 1,568 served by Entergy, 1 served by First Electric Cooperative and 10 spread across North Little Rock and Sherwood as they’re served by North Little Rock Electric.
Those numbers were all of 6:30 p.m. Wednesday evening but crews remain busy across the county to get the lights back on.
