Dozens of homes in the Adams Place subdivision in Kirksville were all but destroyed by Friday's afternoon storms. Severe thunderstorms moved through the region at about 5:00 Friday evening carrying with them heavy rains and high winds.
Damage in the subdivision was sporadic with some homes appearing to have minimal damage while others were missing roofs and parts of the entire upper story.
An RV actually flipped over and fell onto two cars before resting against a home. A woman and her child were reportedly in the RV when the storm struck but neighbors say they are okay.
In the aftermath of the storm, neighbors went door-to-door to make sure everyone was okay. They also began cleaning up and boarding up their homes.
Two deaths were reported in the Kirksville community as a result of the storm.
An emergency shelter has been set up at Kirksville Elementary School to assist those who were displaced by the storm.
National Guard troops are expected to move into the area over the weekend to assist storm victims.

We were returning from a trip in the Motorhome at 5pm. It looked like another rain storm. I got our 3 year old out first and into the house. I then got our 4 year old out and got her into the attached garage. By that time it was raining harder and the wind got stronger. i put our daughter on the ground in the garage and covered her with a sled and my body. we were covered with debris like wood and glass but we were protected with no injuries. My wife and 18 month old were still on the MH and were unable to get out. They were saved from harm. a real miracle. I think God protected us.

You sir are an idiot. READ the whole story. I'll tell you this: the people in Waco didn't hear a thing before it hit and you are wondering why a woman and her child didn't go to a basement? And we wonder why some animals eat their young: you are living proof as to why that happens!
