Tornado warnings are in effect in other states, including Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Indiana, and Kentucky, where pictures showed entire homes leveled and tractor-trailers fallen.
Devastating wildfires and dust storms have been ignited in warmer, drier parts of the south, while blizzard-like conditions are expected to affect colder northern regions through the weekend.
