UPDATE: At least 7 dead as severe weather hits the Plains; storms next headed to East Coast
At least seven people are dead -- five in Missouri, one in Oklahoma and one in Iowa -- after severe weather hit the Plains this week.
Local authorities confirmed four deaths on Tuesday, including a woman who drove around a barricade and drowned in floodwaters in Perkins, Oklahoma; a 74-year-old woman who died as a result of her home being hit by a reported tornado in Adair, Iowa; and two deaths were attributed to a car accident in heavy rain near Springfield, Missouri.
"Evacuate Webbers Falls immediately," the town said on its Facebook page."The barges are loose and has the potential to hit the lock and dam 16. if the dam breaks it will be catastrophic!! Leave now!!" Joplin was the site of a catastrophic tornado, exactly eight years ago, on May 22, 2011. More than 150 people were killed in that natural disaster.
