At least 25 people were taken to hospitals for treatment after a suspected tornado struck the Caddo Mounds State Historic Site in East Texas during a Native American cultural event in Alto, about 130 miles southeast of Dallas, said Police Chief Jeremy Jackson. At least eight were critically hurt. The weather service said preliminary information showed an EF-3 tornado touched down with winds of 140 mph .
The storm damaged a roof of a hotel in New Albany, Mississippi, and Mississippi State University's 21,000 students huddled in basements and hallways as a tornado came near the school's campus in Starkville.
