Severe storms that spawned destructive tornadoes leave 8 dead across the Central US

Severe storms brought damaging tornadoes to parts of the central US Thursday and Friday, shredding buildings into piles of debris and killing at least eight people.

The severe weather threat that started Wednesday will largely wind down after Saturday.

A smattering of severe storms threatens central Texas to the lower Mississippi Valley, Memphis and other portions of western Tennessee, Alabama, and parts of the Great Lakes – including Cleveland and Pittsburgh — with large hail, damaging winds and possible tornadoes Saturday.

A severe thunderstorm watch for a swath of cities across Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi is in effect until 3 p.m. ET. Tornadoes, quarter-sized hail and wind gusts up to 70 mph are possible.

Destructive tornadoes hit Kansas with days of dangerous severe storms to come across the central US

A week of severe storm threats across the central US started with a bang Monday, with multiple tornadoes demolishing buildings in Kansas, heavy rain stranding vehicles on flooded streets in Wisconsin and baseball-sized hail battering parts of three states.

And Tuesday has the potential to be be just as dangerous.

Tens of millions of people from the Texas-Mexico border to the Great Lakes are at risk of severe storms Tuesday, including in Chicago, Milwaukee, Des Moines, Iowa, and Oklahoma City, where there’s a Level 3 of 5 threat for large to giant hail, damaging wind gusts and tornadoes.

Dangerous flooding is also a concern, especially where rivers are already running high in water-logged northern Michigan and northern Wisconsin.
