65 million people under threat from severe weather over two days.

Severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and large hail are expected to hit the Midwest and South, affecting around 65 million people over two days. The storms will hit the eastern Plains, Missouri and mid-Mississippi valleys, with western Arkansas, eastern Iowa, southern Missouri, and northwestern Illinois expected to be hit the hardest. The storms come just days after over 50 tornadoes were reported in some of the same areas, with a death toll of 32. President Joe Biden approved an expedited major disaster declaration after last week’s storms to provide resources and financial aid as the region recovers.
