UPDATE:

Homeland security is still confirming 4 deaths, but they have said that the previous report of 6 injuries is incorrect. The number Ch. 6 is reporting is 40 injured.

There was apparently a spotter that was caught right in the middle of this particular storm due to a glitch in his radar - he was attempting to warn the camp apparently. He said it was a “rain-wrapped” tornado - a rare one. They said that it’s very hard to recognize these types of tornados even for those trained.

Rain-wrapped tornadoes are quite common. Not sure where that comes from.
