Rescuers combed through fields of wreckage left by a tornado outbreak that roared across the middle of the U.S., leaving dozens dead and communities in despair. In Tennessee, at least four people were killed when a string of suspected tornadoes barreled through parts of the state. Sixty miles north of Memphis, a tornado hit a nursing home in Monette, Arkansas, killing one person. One other person died in the state. Six people are also dead in Edwardsville, Illinois, where the roof of an Amazon warehouse collapsed during a storm. The storm pummeled the building until a wall the length of a football field caved in, reports Jenna Rae from CBS-affiliated St. Louis station KMOV. Forty-five people have been rescued from the rubble. It is not clear how many remain missing.
