A huge storm system has unleashed at least 30 tornados across a swathe of the United States, including a twister that ripped through a wild animal park. But another storm system was gathering steam for later this week, potentially covering an area from Texas to Chicago, according to the US National Weather Service. Storms on Monday evening flipped campers at Lucas Oil Speedway in Hickory County, Missouri, injuring seven people, four of whom were taken to hospitals. The National Weather Service says up to 13 centimetres of rain had fallen since Monday. In El Reno and Stillwater, home to Oklahoma State University about 88km northeast of Oklahoma City, emergency responders rescued people from their homes.
