GLENALLEN, Mo. – Drone video shot in Glenallen, Missouri, provided a dramatic aerial view of the destruction left behind when a tornado ripped through the rural community during a severe weather outbreak early Wednesday morning.

Storm chaser Brandon Clement with Live Storms Media arrived at the scene shortly after the violent storm moved through and said he saw several homes destroyed and some people being treated for injuries by first responders.

"The whole area has a lot of trees down, power lines down, a lot of roofs off, a lot of trailers destroyed, so it’s a pretty rough area," Clement said.

Tornado destroys homes and businesses in Glenallen, MO

Here is a first look at damage from storm tracker Brandon Clement in Glenallen, MO after an overnight tornado destroyed homes and businesses.

Supercell thunderstorms tore across parts of north-central and northeastern Arkansas early Wednesday morning, prompting the National Weather Service to issue Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Tornado Warnings.

The supercells then crossed into southeastern Missouri, prompting additional PDS Tornado Warnings for some towns in Oregon, Bollinger and Cape Girardeau counties, including Myrtle, Marble Hill, Glenallen and Oak Ridge.

"Where I was at, even though I was just a half-mile from where the damage was, there was stone-cold silence," Glenallen resident Lorrie Yount told FOX Weather. "It was very eerie. There was a lot of rumbling in the distance. There was a lot of lightning, but it was just unreal. It was a scary, spooky silence."
