"A powerful storm system swept across central Illinois and parts of
Missouri and Kentucky, damaging homes, tearing down tree limbs and pelting
the region with hail. Tornadoes were reported in more than a dozen counties.

One twister tore through South Pekin, Ill., 10 miles south of Peoria,
destroying about 50 homes and causing extensive damage late Saturday, said
Scott Gauvin, a spokesman for the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.

Twenty-seven people in the area were treated at hospitals, three with
serious injuries.

In Missouri, as many as 40 buildings were damaged in Canton, Mo., including
a fraternity house at Culver-Stockton College, after a tornado touched down
there Saturday evening. A dome on atop a campus building was also damaged,
and a mobile home park in the town of 2,500 was hit.

Other tornadoes were reported Saturday night in Illinois' Adams, Hancock,
McDonough, Bureau, Henry, Brown, Mason, Fulton and Schuyler counties,
damaging several homes and other buildings."
