KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) - More than 20 people died in tornadoes that
spun death and destruction across parts of the central United States, local
officials and media reported on Monday.

Southern Missouri appeared to be the hardest hit, but fatalities were also
reported in Kansas and at least one person died in Tennessee.

The government's National Storm Prediction Center said it has received 82
tornado sighting reports, some of them probably duplicates, since early
Sunday morning.

In Kansas City, Missouri, where four tornadoes were reported, dozens of
homes and businesses were damaged or demolished.

In neighboring Leavenworth County, Kansas, nine homes were destroyed and 30
more damaged, officials there said.
