The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Thursday that all five victims were either in the same mobile home, or divided between the trailer and a small camper parked next to it.“My baby,” Stormiee Mayberry, in a direct Facebook message, said of her 18-year-old son, Michael McCoy, one of the victims. “He was such a strong wonderful young man he was my everything.”“I truly cannot talk right now,” she added. “It’s too much. Too much hurt.”The tornado strafed a 22-mile (35-kilometer) stretch of land and destroyed much of the tiny rural village of Glenallen shortly after 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.
