Trump activates National Guard in tornado-ravaged Arkansas as 37 deaths reported across multiple states

Henderson told AP on Saturday

The National Guard have been deployed to Arkansas, and my Administration is ready to assist State and Local Officials, as they help their communities to try and recover from the damage. Please join Melania and me in praying for everyone impacted by these terrible storms!"

the president wrote

As you drive through this community, you see so many neighbors coming out, taking care of each other, ... One of the things that will make you so proud as a governor is to see neighbors helping neighbors, and never is that more true than right here in this community today. We've got about 40 state police on the ground in the county, about 50 National Guard."
