Tornadoes in Southern U.S. kill 26 people, head toward northeast
by Jordan Hilger, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Deadly tornadoes tore through the Southern U.S. on Sunday and Monday, killing 26 people and trapping a handful of people in their homes in South Carolina.
The National Weather Service predicted more tornadoes were likely Monday afternoon, as the storm system was set to cross paths with 51 million people from Florida to New England on its way up the east coast.
“It just tore everything. Everything’s gone,” Latesha Dillon, who lost a brother in Walthall County, Mississippi, told her local ABC News station.
Reuters reports that almost 580,000 homes and businesses stretching from Arkansas to New York were without power as of Monday, with the 60 or so tornadoes that swept through the South taking the majority of fatalities in Mississippi and South Carolina.
