At least 26 dead in massive US storm after Kansas reports 8 fatalities At least 26 people have been killed in a monster storm sweeping across much of the U.S. Kansas authorities said eight people died in a highway pileup caused by a dust storm Friday.
But as of Saturday evening, Missouri still led the nation in fatalities. Authorities say the state was pounded by scattered twisters overnight that resulted in at least 12 deaths. Arkansas and Texas each saw three weather-related fatalities.
High winds and dry conditions also raised the risk of wildfires. In Oklahoma, nearly 300 homes were damaged or destroyed. The Storm Prediction Center designated the day as “high risk” for severe weather, especially in the Deep South.
