The streets of Cameron, Mo., were littered with trees limbs and debris on Friday.

A storm blew through the town early Friday morning, uprooting trees and knocking down power lines. Shingles were stripped off of rooftops and at least one antenna was knocked down.

"It was the lightning and the thunder," said Jesus Carreno. "It was massive."

Charlie Carroll and his crew were busy cleaning up the Elks Lodge, trying to get a hole fixed so that they could play bingo inside on Friday night.

"We've just been hit here pretty hard the last two or three years with different storms and stuff like that," he said.
