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.
