Tornadoes, wildfires and blinding dust sweep across U.S. as massive storm leaves at least 32 dead

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 U.S. Dakota Henderson said he and others rescuing trapped neighbors found five bodies scattered in the debris Friday night outside what remained of his aunt’s house in hard-hit Wayne County, Missouri. Coroner Jim Akers of nearby Butler County described the “unrecognizable home” where one man was killed as “just a debris field.”
