Rescue workers and homeowners across the U.S. South on April 13 sifted through what remained of hundreds of structures destroyed by a series of tornadoes that killed at least 26 people, as the deadly weather system churned up the East Coast.

Nearly 51 million people from Florida to New England were in the path of the system, with National Weather Service forecasters warning of strong winds, torrential rain, and possibly more tornadoes on April 13 afternoon.
