Several states throughout the Midwest and South reported tornadoes overnight, with widespread damage and multiple fatalities reported in Missouri. KSDK's Megan Kernan and Travis Cummings report on the latest damage.

Abe Cook, the director of an emergency management agency in Franklin County, Missouri, discusses the widespread damage from severe weather and tornadoes across the state.

Tornadoes whipped through Missouri on Friday night, ripping apart homes, businesses, and the electrical system. Gov. Mike Kehoe’s Office says at least 12 people have been killed and one person is still missing from the severe weather.

At least 20 people have died, including 12 in Missouri, as a storm outbreak has produced tornadoes, high winds and fires in the South and threatens to cause flooding and further storms throughout the weekend.

The most fatalities as of Saturday morning were in Missouri, authorities said, with an estimated 11 people killed.
