Torn roofs, bent poles and signs and all sorts of debris piled in front of buildings in Butler, Missouri on March 15, 2025 after a series of tornadoes hit the US Midwest and Southeast overnight, killing at least 14 people. Twenty-six tornadoes were reported but not confirmed to have touched down late on Friday night and early on Saturday as a low-pressure system drove powerful thunderstorms across parts of Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi and Missouri, said David Roth, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service&#x27;s Weather Prediction Center. Two of the tornado deaths occurred in southern Missouri in the Bakersfield area of Ozark County, about 270 miles (434 km) southeast of Kansas City, and a third death was reported in Butler County, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and other officials said. Eight others were killed in the storms, the Missouri Highway Patrol said on X, without giving details. Three other deaths from the overnight storms occurred in Arkansas, the state&#x27;s Department of Emergency Management reported on its website, adding that there were 29 injuries. As the storms regain strength, the highest possible risk of tornadoes and severe thunderstorms is on Saturday night, forecasters said. By Saturday afternoon, parts of Mississippi and Alabama were issued a level 5 tornado alert, the highest level the NWS has. (Production: Gerardo Gomez)
