Nini Green, 10, tried to lift the exterior wall to her bedroom to retrieve some of her personal items. Nini, her mother and four other children took cover in the bathtub while their house was destroyed in the tornado.

The cafeteria at Caruthersville Middle School was destroyed, but other parts of the school only had minor damage.

One of the town's two water towers was still standing on Tuesday. The Caruthersville area was under a boil-water warning and low pressure caused problems with some toilets in the area.
