From Morning Report, 7:24 am on 13 December 2021

In one of the largest tornado events in United States history, more than 30 tornadoes have been reported in at least six states, including Missouri, Tennessee and Mississippi.

Strong winds collapsed a candle factory in Kentucky, an Amazon warehouse in western Illinois, and a nursing home in Arkansas.

A tornado hit the Mayfield Consumer Products candle factory Friday night while people were working.

Kyanna Parsons-Perez, trapped in the factory, used Facebook live to plead for help before she was rescued.
