Deadly weekend storm system threatens more tornadoes, flooding rains for parts of US [View all]

A deadly storm system that pummeled portions of the central U.S. with heavy rain and tornadoes is expected to sweep across the Ohio and Tennessee valleys on April 21, bringing a barrage of severe weather threats.

"The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a minimal threat of tornadoes," the National Weather Service said in a statement.

Over the weekend, storms broke out across the southern and Midwest United States, killing at least three people in Oklahoma, including a 12-year-old boy, and triggering flash floods that shut down major thoroughfares. More than half a dozen tornadoes have been confirmed, including one in Marshall County, Oklahoma, that left two homes completely destroyed and damaged about 20 others.

Flash flood warnings and advisories were active across the central United States, from Kansas, Missouri and Kentucky to Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.

You're on your own states. No more FEMA. There are billionaires like Donny who need another tax cut.
