A powerful storm system roared across the Midwest and South Friday night, unleashing a series of tornadoes that carved paths of destruction and left at least 10 dead in Missouri. The outbreak of tornadoes raked through towns under the cover of darkness — the most dangerous and deadly time for a tornado outbreak. The magnitude of the damage was unclear in the early-morning hours Saturday as forecasters at the National Weather Service furiously issued tornado warnings and the radar lit up with severe thunderstorms from Wisconsin to Mississippi. It’s part of a major, cross-country low pressure system that has killed at least 16 people so far and pounded the central US with hurricane-force gusts, creating a blinding dust storm and fanning wildfire flames. As meteorologists from the weather service assess the damage Saturday, a new, more dangerous round of storms is underway in the Southeast, prompting a “particularly dangerous situation” tornado watch in parts of Louisiana and Mississippi due to the highest possible risk of tornadoes and severe thunderstorms.
