A storm system tore across the United States, bringing deadly tornadoes and intense winds that killed at least 16 people and destroyed homes, local media reported.

Missouri suffered the highest death toll, with 10 fatalities, according to state authorities. In Butler County, a tornado demolished a house, killing a man inside, while rescuers pulled a woman from the wreckage. Arkansas officials reported three deaths in Independence County and 29 injuries across eight counties. Meanwhile, in Texas, three people died in car crashes caused by a dust storm near Amarillo.

The massive weather system has also fueled over 100 wildfires and forced evacuations in Oklahoma, where strong winds flipped tractor-trailers.
