The hardest hit areas were in southern Missouri, with six fatalities in Wayne County and three in Ozark County. Governor Mike Kehoe describes the devastation as heartbreaking, adding that homes and businesses have been destroyed.

The governor says 19 tornadoes impacted 25 of Missouri’s 114 counties. We’ll have the latest details Monday morning at 6 on 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Missouri.”
