Nine of the 12 fatalities reported during last week's severe weather outbreak occurred in Wayne and Ozark counties.

Tornadoes whipped through Missouri on Friday night, ripping apart homes, businesses, and the electrical system. Gov. Mike Kehoe’s Office says at least 12 people have been killed and one person is still missing from the severe weather.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol has received reports of at least 10 storm-related deaths, according to a Saturday morning X post. Six are dead in Wayne County, two in Ozark County, one in Butler County and one in Jefferson County.

At least 20 people have died, including 12 in Missouri, as a storm outbreak has produced tornadoes, high winds and fires in the South and threatens to cause flooding and further storms throughout the weekend.
