Tornadoes and violent winds flattened homes and ripped apart buildings from Oklahoma to Indiana in a series of storms expected to bring record-setting rains and life-threatening flash floods across the nation’s midsection in the coming days.
At least four people in western Tennessee and Missouri were killed in the first wave on Wednesday and early Thursday that spun off powerful tornadoes, one launching debris nearly 5 miles (8 kilometres) above the ground in Arkansas.
Among those killed in Tennessee was a man in a home damaged by the storm near Moscow, about 50 miles (80 kilometres) from Memphis, said Ray Garcia of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office. Officials were preparing for more rain and strong storms on Thursday, he said.
