It has been 24 hours of tornadoes, blizzards, wildfires, flattening winds, and torrential floods for more than 100 million Americans as a large weather system continued to make its way across a vast swathe of the central United States on March 15.

According to authorities, scattered twisters from the night of March 14 killed at least 12 people in Missouri. At least three people have died in Arkansas tornadoes, with 29 more reported injured. Three more died in Texas after crashing their cars in a dust storm. The Kansas Highway Patrol reported eight people died in a highway pileup caused by a dust storm in Sherman County on Friday.
