At least 37 people are dead after dozens of tornadoes, high winds, and dust storms pushed across the United States over the weekend, decimating homes and other structures in several states.
Deaths were reported in Kansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, and Missouri, where the storms killed a dozen, including three on Friday night when an EF-3 tornado with peak winds of 140 mph ripped through Bakersfield, the National Weather Service said Saturday. A Kansas highway pileup involving over 70 vehicles claimed at least eight lives, according to the state highway patrol.
The severe weather threat will linger through Sunday from Florida northward into the upper Ohio River Valley, the Storm Prediction Center warned. More than 60 million in the U.S. are at risk on Sunday.
A tornado watch in portions of north-central Florida was extended to 5 p.m., and a tornado watch is in effect for parts of northeastern West Virginia, northwestern Virginia, and central Pennsylvania until 7 p.m., with an enhanced risk of severe weather in western New York.
