Edit: Yes, this is the same tornado: https://meaww.com/tornado-warning-amazon-warehouse-edwardsville-collapse https://meaww.com/tornado-warning-amazon-warehouse-edwardsvi... Edit 2: Hmm. Maybe not. Looks like I was wrong initially, and the fact this tornado hit the same night as an Amazon warehouse got leveled by another tornado is just the world's shittiest coincidence.

This isn't the same tornado that hit Edwardsville Illinois. Edit: https://twitter.com/ellenbacca/status/1469542791659368449?s=20 https://twitter.com/ellenbacca/status/1469542791659368449?s=... St. Louis is ~200 miles to the north (Edwardsville is an Illinois suburb in metro east). The tornado you're referencing tracked from Arkansas east, different tornado.

It's not uncommon for a severe storm system like this to produce multiple tornados. The "quad-state tornado" was farther to the south, cutting across the bootheel of Missouri, while the one that hit the Amazon warehouse was more north, near St. Louis.
