Tornadoes close part of I-29
Areas without power
by St. Joseph News-Press
Thursday, June 5, 2008

Parts of Interstate 29 are closed through most of Holt County because of tornadoes.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports calls of multiple tornadoes in the area.

Three semi-trailers were blown over because of the storm. One semi-trailer was blown over just south of mile marker 91 just south of Craig, Mo., on a bridge. It is blocking one lane of traffic in the southbound lanes. Two other semi-trailers were blown over in the median near mile marker 96 north of Craig. The clean-up is blocking one southbound lane and one northbound lane.

So far there have been no reports of damages except that of the semi-trailers. Injury information isn’t available at this time.

Squaw Creek and Craig seemed to be without power at about 8:45 p.m.
