ASSOCIATED PRESS and leaving homes and businesses damaged as the vast weather front raced across several states.
About 185,000 customers were without electricity Thursday morning in the wake of the storm along a band of states: Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks utilities. Elsewhere, a warehouse roof collapsed as the storms moved through Southaven, Mississippi, near Memphis, police said. The building had been evacuated and no injuries were reported.
Adams said the storm toppled trees in a nearby park, and a large tree across the street from their house split in half."We were blessed," he said."Instead of falling toward the house, it fell the other way." The National Weather Service in Tulsa said Thursday that the tornado has been rated an EF-3, up from an initial assessment of EF-2, with wind speeds between 136-165 mph . The tornado reached a peak speed of about 145 mph and 5 miles while on the ground for about eight minutes, according to the weather service.
