A series of storms that sparked tornadoes, wildfires, high winds and dust storms while barreling across eight states over the weekend have left at least 42 people dead and dozens injured.
Scattered tornadoes in Missouri killed over a dozen people, and a string of twisters in Mississippi—including two that hit near the same town within about an hour—left six people dead. Hundreds of homes and businesses were destroyed throughout the South and the Midwest.
