Killer tornadoes rip through swath of Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois: Two reported dead and dozens injured as roof collapses at Amazon distribution center

[MAIL] Tornadoes ripped across the South and Midwest on Friday, leaving a path of destruction that killed a nursing home resident in Arkansas and another person in Missouri, trapped workers inside a collapsed Amazon warehouse in Illinois and devastating the town of Mayfield, Kentucky - where people caught in the wreckage of a candle factory begged to be freed from the rubble.

One person was killed in Missouri, in rural St. Charles County, when buildings collapsed near the town of Defiance.

In Arkansas, one person was killed in a nursing home in Monette, according to KARK.

Crews at the scene reported the Monette nursing home had partially collapsed, with five others injured and as many as 20 people trapped, according to Craighead County Judge Marvin Day.

Initial reports said two were dead but within two hours, the building had been cleared and everyone initially believed to have been inside had been accounted for, Day said.

'It looks like it's pretty much destroyed,' Day said of the building.
