An Amazon warehouse near Edwardsville, Illinois, about 25 miles (40km) west of St Louis, was destroyed in extreme weather conditions on Friday night. It wasn’t immediately clear if or how many people were hurt by the roof collapse, but local emergency services called it a ‘mass casualty incident’ on Facebook. One official told KTVI-TV that up to 100 people were believed to be in the building, working the night shift, at the time of the collapse.
Up to 100 people are feared to have been killed after a devastating outbreak of tornadoes ripped through Kentucky and other US states on Friday night and early Saturday morning
