A new round of damaging thunderstorms erupted over the central United States Wednesday night into Thursday, right on the heels of a severe weather outbreak across the region earlier this week.
A large tornado tore through the capital city of Jefferson City, Missouri. The National Weather Service in St. Louis issued a Tornado Emergency for the area after a ‘violent tornado’ was confirmed on the ground.
