A powerful storm system has wreaked havoc across the U.S. South and Midwest, leading to multiple deaths and severe damage. Torrential rain has resulted in life-threatening flooding, especially in already affected central regions. Reports indicate that nearly 100 tornadoes have touched down, with several classified as EF3, marking one of the worst days for storms in decades. As communities grappling with catastrophic conditions attempt to recover, strong storms and flooding are forecasted to continue through the weekend. Thousands are left without power, and emergency services are responding to life-threatening situations in multiple states, particularly Arkansas, where tornado emergencies have been declared.
