Twisters

In a night filled with historic tornado activity, a long-held Missouri tornado record appears to have just been broken by a woman that was carried a record distance by a twister.

It was one of the deadliest night of tornadoes in Missouri history as authorities have confirmed 24 tornado reports which tragically included 3 deaths after Friday twisters devastated the region.

You'll hopefully never see a tornado from this perspective. A guy shared video as he realized that he was not just near the Rolla, Missouri tornado, but inside the twister itself.

There are reports of a significant tornado that impacted the Rolla, Missouri area Friday night.

As we get closer to what is expected to be a historic storm event this Friday, this risk keeps growing for both Missouri and Illinois as forecasters now warn both states could see strong tornadoes and mammoth hail.

Missouri is all but guaranteed to see potentially devastating weather this Friday and straight line winds are the real danger.

It was by far the most damaging and destructive tornado in northeast Missouri history. By the time it lifted back into the clouds, 14 lives had been lost and 40 people had been injured and we're nearing the anniversary of that awful day.

Illinois is now in the area where it's believed severe storms will develop next week.

Missouri is now in the bullseye for potential explosive storm development Tuesday and it might also include snow later.

World famous storm chaser Reed Timmer has just dropped his prediction for the number of twisters Missouri and Illinois will see this year.
