Inland Hurricane Crossing Kentucky
A nasty, fast-moving thunderstorm complex, known as a Derecho or Inland Hurricane, ripped through Kansas Thursday night and southern Missouri Friday morning with wind gusts of 100 mph and rainfall in excess of 3 inches in some areas. The Inland Hurricane continues to race to the east and is now ripping through the Ohio Valley states with wind gusts to 100 mph.
As the system blasts in, it may seem like a rain-wrapped tornado or a wall of water with high winds to some. People should be on guard for the rapidly approaching storms that can down trees and power lines, damage homes, overflow streams, and flood streets and rural roads in a matter of minutes. The storms also have potential to produce large, destructive hail and could spawn a couple of tornadoes.

Storms cause damage in southern Missouri
Strong storms in southern Missouri are being blamed for widespread damage, including the collapse of a large section of a TV tower in Joplin. The storm Friday dumped up to 3 1/2 inches of rain in some areas and brought high winds. The National Weather Service had not yet determined if reports of tornadoes were accurate, but several areas reported winds of 80 mph and higher.
In Joplin, a big section of KSNF-TV's tower fell onto two homes. No one was hurt, but the homes and vehicles were badly damaged. Thousands were without power, including about 60,000 customers in the Joplin area. The National Weather Service says damage was reported in at least three dozen counties. And heavy rain caused flash flooding that closed several roads.

Severe Thunderstorms Kill 4 People in Midwest
Severe thunderstorms in the Midwest have killed four people, collapsing a church and knocking out power to thousands. In southern Missouri, Butler County sheriff's Deputy Ryan Thurman says two people were killed Friday near Poplar Bluff when wind knocked a tree onto their car. In Dallas County, a man in his 70s had a fatal heart attack after wind lifted him and his wife from their home and threw them into a building. Officials in Wilson County, Kan., say a person died there, but no details were immediately available. In Illinois, Jackson County emergency management official Derek Misener says he suspects that area may have had multiple tornadoes with "substantial countywide damage and injuries."

Up to 120 mph winds in storms that probably spawned twisters
Wicked thunderstorms with wind reaching speeds of 120 mph pushed through parts of the Midwest on Friday, leaving four people dead, collapsing a church and knocking out power to thousands, authorities said.
Two people were killed near Poplar Bluff, Mo., when wind knocked a tree onto their car. In Dallas County, a man in his 70s had a fatal heart attack after he and his wife were sucked from their home and thrown into a field 75 to 100 feet away, said county emergency management director Larry Highfill. The wife was taken to a Springfield hospital. Her condition wasn't immediately known.
A 54-year-old woman was killed in southeast Kansas when the mobile home she was in was blown off its foundation. Wilson County emergency management spokeswoman Cassandra Edson said it appears the mobile home was wrapped around a tree.Winds in the area reached 120 mph, destroying the New Albany United Methodist Church, the town's post office and at least one home, authorities said. Major damage also was reported to a high school in Cherokee, Kan.
Twisters reported
National Weather Service offices in Springfield, Mo., and St. Louis received multiple reports of tornadoes from one end of Missouri to the other, mostly south of Interstate 44. The weather service sent out teams to determine if tornadoes had touched down.
