So what was this from a couple weeks back?
President Donald Trump has approved Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders' request for an Emergency Declaration for Direct Federal Assistance.

Sarah was just going to embezzle the money anyway. She could now buy a lot of $30K podiums.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders types are firm believers in God's intercession on behalf of those who have accepted Jesus as ones Savior. Seems to me a few prayers is all Arkansas needs right about now. Maybe Trump can spare some paper towels?
The first one was from tornado damage that came through in the middle of March. That looks like flooding from early April.
It’s certainly a mystery that Arkansas would get two extreme weather events in 3 weeks

Donald Trump has denied federal disaster relief funds to the people of
Arkansas, which saw dozens of people die from a series of deadly tornados last month, so legislators are pleading for him to reconsider.
More than 40 people have been found dead after a series of tornados and severe storms hit Arkansas and neighboring states Mississippi and Missouri in March, according to
CNN.
Given the scale of the disaster, the state’s Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee, requested federal disaster aid as a part of an emergency declaration. That request was later denied by the
Trump administration.
Huckabee and other
Arkansaslawmakers have since publicly asked Trump to reconsider his decision. Huckabee sent an appeal of the decision on 18 April. US senators Tom Cotton and John Boozman of Arkansas and US Representative Rick Crawford also followed up with a letter to Trump, asking him to “reconsider the denial”.
“As Governor Sanders noted in her request, these storms caused catastrophic damage across the state, resulting in disastrous amounts of debris, widespread destruction to homes and businesses, the deaths of three Arkansans, and injuries to many more,” the legislators
wrote in a 21 April letter.
The letter continued: “Given the cumulative impact and sheer magnitude of destruction from these severe weather events, federal assistance is vital to ensure that state and local communities have the capabilities needed to rebuild.”
