The National Weather Service is surveying affected areas to determine official storm ratings and confirm tornado strength.

Emergency crews continue to assess damage as residents begin cleanup efforts across impacted communities.

The tornado damage has led to multiple school closures and property impacts.

Adair County was among the hardest-hit areas, with over 1,300 customers still without power as of Wednesday morning.
