Severe thunderstorms, including some with tornadoes, swept across across parts of Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee Monday night and early Tuesday, killing at least three people in Missouri.
A tornado killed three members of a family near the southeastern Missouri community of Cooter, the Pemiscot County Sheriff's Department said Tuesday. Parts of their mobile homes were found up to a mile away.
In Potosi, Mo., the roof of a lumber store collapsed during the storms, sparing seven people inside but injuring a man struck by a wall that collapsed into the parking lot.
One home was destroyed and three others were damaged near Loretto, Tenn. The National Weather Service said it couldn't confirm a tornado.
