Authorities say the five people who were killed when a tornado barreled through their Missouri village were inside a mobile home or adjacent camper that were obliterated. The state highway patrol on Thursday released the names of those killed in the village of Glenallen, several of whom were related. The tornado strafed a 22-mile stretch of southeastern Missouri starting shortly after 3:30 a.m. Wednesday. It came during a week of violent storms and tornadoes in the central and southern U.S. One person died Wednesday in a Kentucky tornado, and the National Weather Service said Thursday that it was surveying damage from that and two other three EF-1 twisters that touched down in Kentucky.
