Tornadoes Kill Five In Midwest

Five people died and more than 30 were injured as tornadoes struck the Missouri lead mining belt south of St. Louis. At Old Mines a twister destroyed nearly a dozen homes trapping Pratt family members. Two elderly brothers died near Farmington and a Carbondale Illinois motorist perished on U.S. 67. Farmington Hospital withheld the victim's name amid a broader blackout of communications. Late Saturday and Sunday another batch hit central Kansas injuring about 100 with Salina hardest hit including planes, houses, and businesses damaged.
