Tornadoes tore through several central U.S. states, flattening homes and trailers in an RV park and killing at least three people, authorities said.
Crews and cadaver dogs searched for more victims in the rubble Friday.
Thursday night’s storms left trails of destruction across parts of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Arkansas.
About 40 people were injured and dozens of homes damaged in one Indiana community. Tornadoes were also suspected in Illinois and Missouri.
It appeared the worst hit was the Indian Lake area in Ohio’s Logan County, northwest of Columbus, with the villages of Lakeview and Russells Point devastated. At least three people died, said Sheriff Randy Dodds.
The storm damaged or destroyed about 130 homes and a Taco Bell restaurant, Mayor Bob McCoy said. He and his wife hunkered in a closet when the twister hit around 8 p.m.
