A powerful storm system is bringing severe weather to the central U.S. as of April 3rd, causing tornadoes, heavy rain, and damaging winds. Multiple states, including Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, and Kentucky, have reported storm damage, flooding, and widespread power outages. More than 260,000 people are without electricity, and thousands of flights have been delayed or canceled. Authorities have declared states of emergency in Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
Officials have issued tornado warnings, flash flood alerts, and severe thunderstorm advisories as storms continue to move through the region. Roads in many areas are flooded, and strong winds are creating dangerous travel conditions. The storm threat is expected to persist over the next few days, bringing additional risks of flooding and severe weather. Residents should stay informed and take precautions as conditions develop.
