COLUMBIA, Tenn. (AP) — Dangerous storms crashed over parts of the South on Thursday even as the region cleaned up from earlier severe weather that spawned tornadoes, killed at least three people, and gravely injured a boy who was swept into a storm drain as he played in a flooded street.

A heavy line of storms swept into Atlanta near the end of the morning rush hour. Busy hub airports in Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina, reported delays. The National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center cited an “enhanced risk” for severe weather from Texas to South Carolina. An emergency manager reported “significant wind damage” from a possible tornado Thursday afternoon in the Vidalia, Georgia, area, a region known for producing onions.

The storms continue a streak of torrential rains and tornadoes this week from the Plains to the Midwest and, now, the Southeast. Since Monday, 39 states have been under threat of severe weather and at least four people have died. On Wednesday and Thursday, about 220 million people were under some sort of severe weather risk, with some in danger multiple days, said Matthew Elliott, a Storm Prediction Center forecaster.

The weather comes on the heels of a stormy April in which the U.S. had 300 confirmed tornadoes, the second-most on record for the month and the most since 2011.

1. Remember when the RW turd noise factory stated God was using earthquakes to punish blue states

Maybe God is using tornado-producing supercells to punish red states.

And I'm sure these "pull yourself up by your bootsteps, you welfare suck from the government tit" red states will be first online from FEMA with their hands out begging for the big, bad, worthless Washingon gubmint to help with money to rebuild, all the while bitching about the social safety net and entitlement that go to "inner city" people that "just refuse to work."

3. What the "noise factory" stated about God is not what God does. We shouldn't think like them.

The christian nationalists are not the Israelites of the Old Testament, though they like to think of their god and their 'chosenness' that way, which in Moses' time, 1500 BCE, was chaotic and lawless, since the former slaves didn't know how to organize their society yet.
