At least 34 people dead, dozens injured as storms continue to sweep across US
severe storms have caused at least 34 deaths across the southern and midwestern United States, with Missouri being the hardest hit with 12 fatalities. Dozens more were injured as over 40 tornadoes were recorded across eight states, triggering tornado watches for parts of Florida, Georgia, and other states until Sunday afternoon.
The storms, which began on Friday, prompted Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to declare a state of emergency, urging residents in high-risk areas to seek shelter. In Kansas, a series of pile-ups involving 50 vehicles resulted in at least eight deaths as residents fled approaching dust storm fronts. The US weather service is warning that more severe weather is expected to hit parts of the east coast on Sunday.
