Four dead and more injured, trapped and missing as tornadoes tear through Midwest

Four people died and many more were injured, trapped or missing after powerful tornadoes tore through the Midwest early Wednesday.

The storms pummeled the resort city of Branson, Missouri, laid waste to small town in Kansas and wrought damage across Illinois, Nebraska and Kentucky.

An apparent twister rolled through Branson just before 1am and seemed to hopscotch up the city's main roadway, ripping roofs off hotels and damaging some of the city's famed music theaters dangerously close to the start of the heavy tourism season. More than 30 people were reported hurt, mostly with cuts and bruises.
