Tornadoes Tear Through Midwest

The Heartland is reeling from a massive storm system that spawned dozens of tornadoes from Oklahoma to the Great Lakes.

Emergency crews are working to clear debris and restore power to thousands of residents after roofs were ripped off buildings and rural roads were rendered impassable.

Meteorologists have warned that more severe weather is possible throughout the weekend as the system moves eastward.

The lack of loss of life has been described as a major relief given the intensity of the winds.
