US Extreme Weather Mississippi

Residents are surveying damage from unusually vicious weather in multiple U.S. states where violent twisters, blinding dust storms and fast-moving wildfires decimated entire neighborhoods. As of Sunday evening, at least 39 people had been killed as a sprawling storm barreled across the nation's midsection toward the East Coast. The National Weather Service says tornado watches had mostly expired, but damaging winds are still possible for the Carolinas, east Georgia and northern Florida. The dramatic storm from Friday through Sunday earned an unusual “high risk” designation from weather forecasters.

Predictions of a dangerous weekend weather came true as a dynamic storm system spawned tornadoes, dust storms and wildfires that killed more than 40 people across eight states. Hundreds of homes and businesses in Southern and Midwestern states were destroyed. People died in tornadoes and in car crashes brought on by dust storms. Missouri has the most deaths with at least 13 fatalities. The National Weather Service says tornado watches have expired but dangerous gales, heavy snow and wildfires fueled by dry winds remain on tap this week.
