MOUNDVILLE, Mo. — Residents in southwest Missouri are picking up the pieces Wednesday morning after severe storms and a possible tornado roared through the area.

Craig and Patti Bott own Bott’s Moundville Service Station and took a direct hit from the storm. The Bott family has owned the service station since the late 1960s/early 1970s.

No injuries have been reported in the Moundville area, which is in the southern part of Vernon County, just north of Joplin. Nearby Nevada also sustained serious damage as seen below:
