Storm causes damage in southern Missouri

Authorities say a severe weather system has toppled
trees and power lines, damaging some homes and outbuildings across parts of
southern Missouri.

National Weather Service Meteorologists Megan Terry says crews were headed out
Monday morning to determine whether straight line winds or small tornadoes
caused the damage. Several power outages were reported in the Springfield area.
There also were reports of damage south of Branson, Joplin and the St. Louis
metropolitan.

Terry says no injuries or fatalities have been reported.

The storm system also caused damage in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
