The Holiday Inn in Blytheville is still burning this morning after a major fire overnight. Reports are unofficial and sketchy at this time, but there are currently no reports of injuries or fatalities. Most of the central section of the building, including the lobby, restaurant and meeting room area appear to be destroyed. Much of the rest of the facility suffered heavy smoke damage.
The cause of the fire is not known at this time.
Main Street was closed to traffic this morning, although motorists could still reach Starbucks and McDonald's. Police were preparing to reopen the roadway; however icy conditions caused by freezing water were slowing the process.
UPDATE: Main Street is now open. Motorists should watch for icy area caused by frozen water runoff.
