Significant damage reports starting to filter in from Branson, MO. Radar showed the rotation plowing right through town. #mowx
 
At 1:25 a.m., a tornado moved through Branson. People reported theaters destroyed, roofs damaged, power lines down and large mature trees toppled in downtown Branson and other areas, and other damage, including the strip along Missouri 76. One person reported damage and people trapped on Mount Branson, east of downtown Branson across Lake Taneycomo, and in Hollister.

(Branson, Kimberling City, MO)--There are reports of widespread damage in Stone and Taney Counties this morning after a possible tornado moved from Kimberling City through Branson, Missouri overnight. There are about a dozen confirmed injuries, all minor.

Branson's Emergency Operations Center, set up at Fire Station 1, is coordinating the search for victims and damage. There is confirmed damage in about a quarter-mile wide path along Highway 76. The Walmart, a Taco Bell, a Mazzio's Pizza and the Blue Bayou Inn all have confirmed damage, emergency officials told KOLR10 News. There were also reports of damage to some of the music theaters along Branson's famous strip.

Garrett Anderson, Branson's Economic Development Director, tells KOLR10 trees were down in many parts of town, including the historic downtown area along Lake Taneycomo.

I use to live in the region as a child. There was monster tornado that went thru there in 1925. Travelled over 200 miles on ground from MO to IN. My great-grand parents would tell stories about it.

Every stay safe and take cover. My heart goes out to the residence in Branson. Just horrible.
 
The weather channel now has pictures of damage in Branson....tornado watch/warnings headed into Kentucky.
 
I just saw the pics on the WC. OMG! Please everyone stay safe and out of harms way!

MT @ouillinoisokie: Eyewitness reports: Some parts of Harrisburg, IL sustained major damage. Eyewitness says "war zone"
 
FYI

www.intellicast.com has a very good interactive weather map for following these storms.

Has anyone heard anything about casualties in IL? I thought I just heard Al Roker mentioned something about casualties.

Ws members, please update and let us know you are ok once the storms pass. I am worried. Thanks.
