ORIGINAL POST:

A late-season severe weather outbreak has spread tornadoes across the Midwest tonight. As of 7 PM Central time, nine tornado reports had been received via Storm Spotters on the WeatherMatrix StormMatrix, which processes reports submitted to The NWS [JessePedia] via Skywarn [WikiPedia].

The storms were, unfortunately, in the "radar hole" of northern Missouri, where there are no nearby NWS radars, but radar loops from the nearest radar, St. Louis, are available for download* here.
