US Midwest storm leaves 13 dead and dozens injured
At least 13 people have been killed as a storm hit the US Midwest, bringing devastation to parts of Illinois, Missouri and Kansas.
At least 10 were killed in Harrisburg, Illinois, and another died near Buffalo, Missouri. More than 30 others were hurt.
...
The tornadoes are said to have been generated by a cold storm moving down from the Rocky mountains that hit a warm front as it moved east, said Corey Mead, lead forecaster at the US Storm Prediction Center, Oklahoma.
Sixteen twisters were sighted in the US states of Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky.
