Severe weather has continued to batter the South and Eastern United States, with big tornadoes pummeling the Midwest and Central US on Friday and Saturday. Over 32 people are now dead after over 50 tornadoes spawned in Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Indiana, Wisconsin, and a loner in Delaware killed one person in Sussex County. In Illinois, four people were killed, one of which died when the roof of the Apollo Theater in Belvidere collapsed due to high winds. Five people were killed in Indiana, three of those five in the town of Sullivan. Two children and an adult were found dead in Tennessee after a tree fell on their house, and nine others were killed in McNairy County. Another person was found dead in North Little Rock, Arkansas, after a powerful EF-3 ripped through the state capital. Also, one person was killed in Madison County, Alabama, and another in Pontotoc County, Mississippi. Now, the severe weather threat is moving into Texas and Oklahoma, where more tornadoes and golf-ball size hail is expected throughout the day. Unfortunately, since we have entered peak storm season, another system will move in on Tuesday, and it will bring more rain, hail, high winds, and even tornadoes.
