..aww geez.
I was just watching a rebroadcast of the evening news on YT (don't have television) and they were talking about extreme weather with snow, rain, thunderstorms and tornadoes in the Midwest and Great Lakes area.
REports mention one wall of the building and the roof were actually peeled away and the entire back of the building is gone. About 125 or so people are still trapped. Much of what is left that is visible are the internal vertical supports that held up he roof. In another news clip a pair of tornadoes were filmed in the area. Local news report below

There was a line of thunderstorms and tornadoes across the region. A nursing home in Arkansas was hit as well.
As of 2AM, Edwardsville IL local news is reporting that there may still be 50-100 people trapped in the warehouse, and an unknown number of dead and injured.
It's apparently a massive site. For whatever reason, Amazon is ordering people who work in the other building on weekend shifts to report to work as normal -- in fact, the people who work the overnight shift were ordered to report to work a couple hours ago. While the rescue and recovery operations are going full steam. That's ... a lot, that is. Water and power are also still out at the facility, and there's debris everywhere.
UPDATE: The Edwardsville IL police chief is saying that after a couple of hours of working through this, most of the people they've rescued have been OK to be transported to places to be reunified with their people, and so far only one person has been transported to hospital.
...that last report is good to hear.
Bowling Green KY is hit hard. Emergency responders saying, "I can't give a numeric, there is nothing left."
CNN is covering the line of disasters right now. Includes a candle manufacture plant.
It is bad.
Sending good vibes. That is rough.
It was also in the German news. Those storms and tornadoes must have been terrible. I hope that many people could be saved.
One touch down here about 4 miles away then continued on over into IL Wife and I spent most of yesterday evening sitting in the basement watching the weather on my phone. I live outside of St. Louis.
holy crap I thought the comments in the videos I watched were dark humour about having to keep working etc
Ever since I moved back to Kentucky from overseas in 2007 it's been winter as tornado season in these areas and as a child in these same states it was unheard of in my memory. The tornados always came in March then. It's awful. Clearly old fashioned building techniques and building materials need to be seriously rethought.
The one by my house there was a death. At first, I thought was going to take the national Radar Dardenne Prairie Mo. that's about four miles from me. It went up into St Charles Mo and there was the fatality. 15, miles away from my home.
Six people killed in Amazon warehouse collapse due to Edwardsville tornado. More are still missing, but they no longer expect to find survivors.
Mayfeld and Bowling Green, Kentucky, decimated.
