The twisters also knocked down some trees, causing power outages.

A Missouri family is devastated after their home was destroyed by a tornado Tuesday night. The National Weather Service confirmed an EF1 tornado ripped through the area. The family says it all happened so quickly, describing a weird sound in the air, followed by a rumbling sound before the power went out and the roof was ripped off the home. The family says their home of eight years is a total loss.
