A massive storm system that swept across the United States has left at least six people dead and caused widespread destruction. The threat of tornadoes has now moved to the Mississippi Valley and the Deep South. Power outages have affected thousands of people across several states, including Missouri, where multiple fatalities were reported. In Texas, deadly crashes occurred during a dust storm, involving an estimated 38 cars. Evacuations have been ordered in Oklahoma due to more than 130 wildfires, with more than 100 fires reported in the state. The storm system has also led to blizzard conditions in colder northern areas and wildfire risks in warmer, drier areas to the south.
The National Weather Service has issued multiple tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings for Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, and Texas. Forecasters predict that the severe storm threat will continue over the weekend, with a high chance of tornadoes and damaging winds in Mississippi and Alabama. Experts have noted that while such weather extremes in March are not unusual, the size and intensity of this storm system are producing substantial impacts over a large area.
The Storm Prediction Center has warned of potentially violent tornadoes in parts of the central Gulf Coast and Deep South and issued high-risk alerts for several areas. The blaze continues in the Southern Plains, leading to evacuations in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and New Mexico. Firefighters are working to contain the wildfires amid dry, gusty conditions. The storm system has also led to blizzard conditions in parts of Minnesota and South Dakota.
