A tornado watch is in effect until 4 p.m. ET for portions of eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and most of West Virginia, according to the Storm Prediction Center.

The watch includes Pittsburgh and Erie, Pennsylvania; Charleston, West Virginia; and Akron, Canton and Zanesville, Ohio.

More than 60 million people are under the threat for severe storms Sunday from Pennsylvania to Florida as the larger system shifts eastward. The main threats will be damaging winds, a few tornadoes and hail.

Two people have been confirmed dead as a result of severe weather that pummeled Alabama, Gov. Kay Ivey said in a statement Sunday morning.

Damage has been reported in 52 of the state’s 67 counties, she added, noting officials are still assessing the damage.

More than 50 million people from Florida to Pennsylvania are under the threat of severe storms Sunday as a massive weather system pushes east, having left in its wake a path of devastation across the Central and Southern US.

Communities across the affected states continue to take stock of the devastation left in the wake of the storm system, which spawned an outbreak of tornadoes and left at least 35 people dead in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama.

Parts of Alabama appeared to have been particularly hard-hit, with images and footage showing the storm had brought down trees and power lines and leveled homes and businesses. Footage from CNN affiliate WVTM shows a school bus lying on its side up against Winterboro High School in Talladega County, its left turn signal blinking in the dark.

“All I’ve got is a truck. I don’t even know where we’re going to be sleeping tonight,” one man whose Calera, Alabama, mobile home was destroyed told WVTM. “It’s just one of those things where everything’s unsure right now. Me and my daughter have our lives. That’s all I can say.”

Customers across the South are without power Sunday morning with nearly 200,000 outages reported following a massive, deadly storm system sweeping across the region.

As of 8:30 a.m. ET, more than 198,000 customers were without power, according to poweroutage.us. Almost 61,000 outages were reported in hard-hit Missouri where the storm system left 12 people dead.

There were just under 50,000 customers without power in Georgia and 50,000 outages in North Carolina. More than 10,000 outages were reported in Mississippi where six people died after multiple tornadoes ripped across the state, and over 28,000 customers were without power in Alabama.

At least 33 people have died as a result of the massive storms. As the larger system shifts east, more than 50 million people are under the threat for severe storms from Pennsylvania to Florida.

A tornado watch is in effect until 3 p.m. ET Sunday for portions of southeastern Georgia and northern Florida, according to the Storm Prediction Center.

The watch includes Jacksonville and Gainesville, Florida, as well as Brunswick, Georgia, the prediction center said, warning, “A couple of tornadoes are possible, as well as damaging gusts with the stronger storms.”

More than 50 million people are under the threat for severe storms Sunday from Pennsylvania to Florida as the larger system shifts eastward. The main threats will be damaging winds, a few tornadoes, and hail.

The storm sweeping across the US continued its path of destruction in Alabama late Saturday into early Sunday. A flurry of tornado watches and warnings were in effect throughout the night across the state as the storm pushed east.

Calera, a small city in central Alabama, suffered widespread damage, authorities told CNN, though there were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries.

A portion of the roof at Calera Baptist Church was torn off just hours before Sunday service, according to CNN affiliate WBRC.

Video from WBRC also showed substantial damage to mobile homes in Calera.

Trees and power lines were downed at local trailer parks, and in addition to damaged trailers, several buildings in the area sustained roof damage, according to Brent Ellison of the Calera Police Department. Burton Campers, a local retailer, also suffered damage to part of its building, Ellison said.

Earlier Saturday, the National Weather Service said an observed tornado was spotted in a rotating thunderstorm approaching Calera. The weather service office for Birmingham is in Calera, and forecasters there said they were preparing to take shelter themselves.

The weather service also reported radar-confirmed tornadoes in Pike County in southern Alabama and in Cusseta in eastern Alabama, near the Georgia state line.

In Pike County, injuries were reported near an intersection on US Highway 29, according to CNN affiliate WSFA, citing Sheriff Russell Thomas. The sheriff said the storm flipped a trailer and tore the roof off a home, WSFA reported. CNN has reached out to the sheriff’s office for details on how many were injured and what their conditions are.

Nearly 53,000 homes and businesses in Alabama were without power shortly after midnight Sunday, according to PowerOutage.us.

A tornado watch is in effect until 2 p.m. ET Sunday for portions of southeastern Georgia, eastern South Carolina and much of North Carolina up to the Virginia state line, according to the Storm Prediction Center.

The watch includes Savannah, Georgia; Columbia, Charleston and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Wilmington, Raleigh, Durham and Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It brings “a greater risk for wind damage along with a threat for a couple of tornadoes,” the prediction center warned.

Severe thunderstorms in Georgia and South Carolina will move across the watch area through early Sunday afternoon, bringing the risk of those threats.

More than 50 million people are under the threat for severe storms Sunday from Pennsylvania to Florida as the larger system shifts eastward. The main threats will be damaging winds, a few tornadoes, and hail.

The death toll from the sweeping storm system climbed to at least 33 across six states Saturday night as more fatalities were reported in Mississippi.

Six deaths have been reported in Mississippi as tornadoes raked across the state – one in Covington County, two people in the same home in Jefferson Davis County and three people in Walthall County, Gov. Tate Reeves said. The governor declared a state of emergency Saturday evening.

Also, three people are missing – two from Covington County and one from Walthall County, according to Reeves. Another 28 have been injured statewide – 15 in Covington County, one in Jefferson Davis County, two in Pike County and 10 in Walthall County, authorities said.

According to preliminary assessments, 21 counties in the state sustained storm damage, Reeves said. Damage assessments are currently underway.

More than 14,000 people were still without power across the state as of Saturday night, according to poweroutage.us.

Dejaun Lane’s family watched from their windows as a tornado churned right by his home in Tylertown, Mississippi, Saturday afternoon.

His house only has a few broken windows and other minor damage, but the family’s other belongings on the property were severely damaged, he said.

Lane’s mother, Tracy Lane, told CNN that her RV trailer is “split in half.”

She said she’s never seen anything like this.

The Storm Prediction Center reduced the severe weather threat in the Southeast to a Level 4 of 5 for the remainder of the evening and overnight hours. This is a reduction from the highest level — which is rarely issued — but a significant threat of severe storms and tornadoes continues this evening, especially across Alabama and eventually into Georgia.

“Widespread severe convection, including the risk for strong tornadoes continues this evening,” the SPC said in its update. “Severe threat will spread across Alabama and into Georgia/Florida Panhandle later tonight.”

The thinking behind the decreased risk is likely that the expert forecasters at SPC no longer see the conditions necessary for violent, long-track tornadoes that a 5-of-5 risk indicates. Destructive tornadoes did occur earlier Saturday in southern Mississippi. The National Weather Service will survey that damage and report strength on Sunday and Monday.

Tornado watches currently stretch from central and eastern Tennessee to the Florida Panhandle, covering more than 8 million people.

When an apparent tornado struck Taylorsville, Mississippi, one resident stepped outside without a shirt or shoes on to film it.

In the footage, the apparent tornado can be seen swirling in the background, accompanied by flashing lights as it moves through the area.

“After it was over, I realized I was almost too close,” Max Loper told CNN Saturday.

After the storm passed, Loper drove around town to assess the damage left in the storm’s wake. The tornado left downed power lines, uprooted trees, damaged buildings and scattered debris throughout the area, video shows.

In one part of the video, Loper puts down his camera to talk to a neighbor to ask her if she is all right.

“We are without power, but we are all good,” the woman said.

At least 31 people are dead in a powerful, multi-threat storm that’s hit much of the Midwest and Southeast since Friday. Saturday has seen the most tornado warnings issued nationwide since April of last year.

Torrential rain and severe thunderstorms are lighting up the radar as the system tracks east. Eastern Alabama, eastern Tennessee and Georgia will be at risk of severe storms, which could include tornadoes, flash flooding and damaging wind, through the early morning hours Sunday.

“Numerous significant tornadoes” are expected Saturday into Sunday morning across the Deep South, according to the Storm Prediction Center. The severe risk of the tornado outbreaks is expected to reach western parts of the Florida panhandle and parts of Georgia Saturday evening.

A new tornado watch is in effect until 4 a.m. ET for central and southern Alabama, western Georgia and the western Florida Panhandle, including Birmingham, Mobile, Atlanta and Pensacola.

While this watch is not a “particularly dangerous situation” like the earlier watches over Mississippi and Alabama, the Storm Prediction Center is still warning of “several tornadoes and a couple of intense tornadoes,” as severe thunderstorms continue to move east this evening and into the overnight hours.

Forecasters at the Birmingham office of the National Weather Service told their media partners they were working with the Storm Prediction Center to get the next tornado watch out quickly, so they could prepare to take shelter themselves.

A rotating thunderstorm approaching Calera, Alabama — where the office is located — has an observed tornado.

If the Birmingham office needs to walk away from their computers to shelter, forecasters in Peachtree City, Georgia, will take over for them.

The death toll from the sweeping storm system climbed to at least 31 across six states Saturday night as more fatalities were reported in Mississippi and Oklahoma.

One person died in Oklahoma amid reduced visibility in Garfield County, according to the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management. Gov. Kevin Stitt said Saturday at a news conference the fatality was “from an accident in a vehicle driving in the smoke of some kind.”

In Mississippi, at least four people died after severe thunderstorms and tornadoes hit the South on Saturday, authorities said.

Three storm-related deaths occurred in Walthall County, according to emergency management director Royce McKee. Another person died in southwest Covington County, a news release from the emergency management office said. Several injuries were also reported in both counties.

Covington County, Mississippi, was “greatly damaged” when two tornadoes touched down there, according to county emergency officials. The tornadoes downed trees and power lines, damaged “multiple” structures and injured several people.

The first tornado touched down in the town of Hot Coffee. Shortly after, the second tornado touched in the town of Seminary, resulting in one death and one major injury.

The National Weather Service will be going out to survey the damage and will make the final call on what happened.

Debris removal operations are underway and damage assessments will begin soon, officials said.

At least three people died in Mississippi after severe storms, including possible tornadoes, hit the state.

The storm-related deaths occurred in Walthall County, said emergency management director Royce McKee. “We have a bunch of houses destroyed, a bunch of damage and three fatalities,” he told CNN. “Several” residents have also been injured and officials are working to find out exactly how many were hurt.

Emergency management officials are also trying to get a total count of houses that have been damaged or destroyed, McKee said. People who were trapped due to the storm have been rescued, but authorities will soon be undertaking a search and rescue effort “to make sure that nobody’s left behind,” he said. They’ll also “take care of everybody,” ensuring that people who have lost their homes have shelter and necessities.

“We’ll be trying to get them housing, fed and assist them with clothing or anything they need,” McKee said. “Some people have lost everything.”

At least eight people died after a severe dust storm in Kansas led to a multi-vehicle crash on Friday afternoon, according to a release from the Kansas Highway Patrol.

A weather front with “high winds moved into northwest Kansas from Colorado, causing a severe dust storm,” leaving almost zero visibility for those traveling on I-70, authorities say.

“The preliminary investigation indicates over 50 vehicles were involved in the crash, with eight confirmed fatalities,” the release said. “Numerous injured travelers were transported to medical care facilities throughout the region.”

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said her thoughts are with those who were affected by the crash.

“I encourage all motorists to remain vigilant as the potential for further weather events continue today,” Kelly said in a news release. “Thank you to the first responders and emergency personnel who responded quickly and continue work to investigate and clear this crash.”

The deaths in Kansas raise the overall storm death toll to 26, with 12 fatalities in Missouri, three in Texas and three in Arkansas.

A busy night of severe weather over the Midwest and Mississippi River Valley has extended into an even busier day of tornado-producing storms on Saturday.

Today has already seen the most tornado warnings issued nationwide since April of last year. At least 127 separate tornado warnings have been issued so far on Saturday, passing yesterday’s total of 94 which was the most of the year until today.

The most active part of the day is forecast to come over the next several hours as the storm system reaches the highest risk area in Alabama.

Four tornado watches are in effect in the southeast on Saturday evening, including two “potentially dangerous situation” watches, which indicate the threat of significant tornadoes.

Around 10 million people in parts of six states are under tornado watches. Birmingham, Alabama, is the largest-populated city under a watch.

The most recent watch was issued for eastern Tennessee and northern Georgia, in effect until 1 a.m. ET. Forecasters say they expect a few tornadoes, but perhaps the bigger threat will be the strong straight-line winds. Gusts up to 75 mph are likely in this region.

Photos from Grenada, Mississippi, show significant destruction, including several buildings destroyed, uprooted trees, a flipped vehicle and multiple cars trapped beneath rubble after severe weather struck the area on Friday.

A video shared with CNN shows downed power lines, debris scattered across yards, metal wrapped around poles and torn-off roofs.

Jeff Johnson, the District 3 Supervisor for Grenada County, expressed his heartbreak to CNN upon witnessing the destruction.

“So many lives have changed in an instant,” Johnson said. “It’s difficult to process this level of devastation. I feel helpless seeing so much loss. Nature’s power is terrifying.”

Johnson mentioned that he and others were in the city of Grenada, which is part of District 1, to assist the community in the aftermath of the storm.
