Spring weather hammered portions of the Midwest and South this week as tornadoes and violent storms tore a path almost 800 miles long across the countryside. Homes were flattened and buildings ripped apart from Oklahoma to Texas to Indiana. The system also dropped record-setting rains and created a situation for life-threatening flash floods.
At least seven people were killed in western Tennessee, Missouri and Indiana in the first wave of weather that spawned powerful tornadoes. One of those tornadoes hit Lake City, Arkansas destroying homes and turning over cars. Parts of Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee experienced localized flooding.
The storms may not be done. Weekend weather predictions include more of the same as daytime heating could combine with an unstable atmosphere and abundant moisture streaming in from the Gulf.
