Eagletown - The National Weather Service (web | news) has conducted damage surveys from a four-state region after last week's severe storms and determined that at least 11 tornadoes touched down -- including one in far southeastern Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma tornado touched down just after 8 o'clock about six miles east-southeast of Eagletown in McCurtain County. It was rated an EF-3 with maximum winds estimated at 140 miles per hour.

The twister was on the ground for about 40 minutes and traveled 30 miles before finally lifting about three miles north of Dierks, Arkansas. The tornado was about a half-mile wide at one point.

A mobile home was toppled and an outbuilding was destroyed when the tornado initially set down in Oklahoma. The most damage was done when the twister ripped through a mobile home park along U.S. Highway 71 near DeQueen, Arkansas.

Seven people were injured by the tornado in the mobile home community.

The tornado was captured on a security camera in Sevier County, Arkansas.

The biggest of Thursday's tornadoes was the one that began just south of where the Oklahoma tornado lifted. It ripped through the town of Mena, Arkansas, killing three people. It, too, was rated an EF-3.
