16 Dead as Storms, Tornadoes Strike US
At least 16 people have lost their lives after a wave of severe weather swept across the United States, with deadly tornadoes hitting parts of Missouri and Kentucky between Friday and early Saturday, according to NBC News.
In St. Louis, Missouri, a powerful tornado caused widespread devastation, killing five individuals and damaging around 5,000 properties. The storm tore roofs off buildings, brought down power lines, and shut down a major highway during rush hour.
St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer
confirmed
the impact of the disaster just one month into her term. Emergency teams are still assessing the full extent of injuries, with several people transported to hospitals across the city. Authorities have imposed a curfew from 9 p.m. to 11 a.m. in the most affected zones to reduce the risk of injury from debris and to prevent looting.
Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson stated that approximately 500 rescue personnel were deployed, including 17 search-and-rescue teams. Despite the extensive damage, initial reports indicate a relatively low number of injuries.
The National Weather Service confirmed at least six tornadoes touched down in Missouri and nearby Illinois. Other states along the East Coast also experienced dangerous weather, including a separate tornado in New Jersey.

Cycling: Pogacar pounces to retakes Tour de France lead - Omni sports
Tadej Pogacar won stage 7 of the Tour de France on Friday to retake the overall lead with a trademark swoop up the short, steep slope of the Mur de Bretagne. Visma's Jonas Vingegaard was second, right on Pogacar's wheel at the line with Briton Oscar Onley third after a late nine-rider pile up marred the finale. Pogacar, the defending champion, gained four sec on Vingegaard with ten bonus seconds to the Dane's six. In the overall standings, Remco Evenepoel is second overall 54 seconds off first as he came sixth on the day, two seconds adrift. French starlet Kevin Vauquelin continues his bright run in third at 1min 11sec while two-time champion Vingegaard is fourth at 1min 17. The overnight leader Mathieu van der Poel rounds out the top five at 1min 29sec after wilting on the final climb, scene of his 2021 coming of age win and his first yellow jersey. The day's action revolved around two ascents of the Mur de Bretagne, a 2km climb at an average of 6 precent, that has been written into Tour de France folklore. With the Tour returning to Brittany after a four years gap, huge festive crowds packed the villages and pretty country lanes as the temperature hit 30 Celsius (86 Fahrenheit). The 179 remaining riders left Saint Malo on the north-west coast passing the magnificent Sillon beach with its granite sea-wall and chic sea-front buildings. Fewer of them will take the start line for Saturday's flat run to Laval, with doubts over key Pogacar teammate Joao Almeida and the Colombian Santiago Buitrago.
