As severe weather continues to wreak havoc across the United States, the Gulf Coast is now facing the threat of a powerful storm system moving through the region. This comes after tornadoes in the central U.S. resulted in the tragic deaths of at least four people.
The East Coast is also experiencing record-breaking heat, with temperatures approaching 90 degrees in the mid-Atlantic. In southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana, powerful thunderstorms are raising the risk of damaging wind gusts, large hail, and flash floods.
Thousands of homes and businesses are without power in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Arkansas following weekend storms. Houston is particularly hard hit, with flooding leading to closed roads and abandoned vehicles littering the streets.
Recovery efforts are underway in the central U.S. after severe storms and tornado warnings caused fatalities in states such as Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Iowa. In Oklahoma alone, a fourth person, including a 4-month-old child, was killed by tornadoes prompting Gov. Kevin Stitt to declare a state of emergency.
The threat of more severe weather persists as a low-pressure system is expected to bring additional storms to the Great Plains, Mississippi Valley, and East Coast on Tuesday. The potential for hail, damaging winds, tornadoes, and flooding is a major concern for residents in these areas.
As the nation braces for more extreme weather conditions, it is crucial for individuals to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing weather situation.
