PIEDMONT, Missouri, United States (AP): Violent tornadoes and high winds decimated homes, wiped out schools and toppled semitractor-trailers as a monster storm that killed at least 32 people ripped its way across the central and southern United States.
Dakota Henderson said he and others rescuing trapped neighbours found five bodies scattered in the debris on Friday (March 14) night outside what remained of his aunt's house in hard-hit Wayne County, Missouri. Scattered twisters killed at least a dozen people in the state, authorities said.
