HOUSTON: At least 33 people have been killed and dozens more injured when tornadoes and violent storms raked across the central United States, as forecasters warned more severe weather was expected on Sunday. Local news showed roofs torn off homes and large trucks overturned.
The state police reported downed trees and power lines, as well as damage to buildings, with some areas severely impacted by "tornadoes, thunderstorms and large hail." "It was the scariest thing I've ever been through, it was so fast, our ears were all about to burst," Alicia Wilson, who was evacuated from her home in Missouri, told TV station KSDK.
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders declared a state of emergency in response and said she had spoken with President Donald Trump. "He said to tell the people of Arkansas he loves them and he and his administration are here to help with whatever we need following last night's tornadoes," Sanders wrote on social media platform X. The National Weather Service (NWS) warned of "severe thunderstorms" from the Lower Great Lakes to the Southeast on Sunday. — AFP
