Today will be remembered as the morning we woke up to tragedy across our nation.

Tornadoes swept through the heartland of the country Friday night.

When all is said and done, there were more than likely be hundreds of people that have died.

Tragedy Strikes

In all, five states were impacted by the storms.

Arkansas, which regularly sees tornadoes this time of year, had a nursing home destroyed, with at least 20 people trapped inside.

So far, two deaths have been reported…

The scene in Illinois was even worse.

An Amazon building collapsed with as many or more than 100 workers believed to be trapped in the rubble.

At least two deaths have been confirmed, but that death will surely increase as the hours pass…

Kentucky saw a candle factory collapse.

At least 50 people have been reported dead so far, but authorities are expecting that number to surpass triple digits.

Fox News obtained audio of a desperate call for help by one of the workers who, thankfully, was rescued…

Storms also ripped through Missouri, with several major storm fronts hitting St. Charles County.

So far, three injuries have been reported…

Storms also swept through Tennessee, with two deaths already reported.

We are still waiting for more details on those storms and casualty numbers.

Rather than focus on the tragedy, it would not be surprising to see Joe Biden focus on blaming this on climate change as a way to push through his legislation.

Right now, we need to focus on rescue efforts to save anyone trapped but still alive in all of these catastrophes.

This is still a developing story, and we will update as needed when more reports arrive.
