A relentless stretch of severe weather that left 28 dead and unleashed destruction across the central and eastern United States in recent days isn’t letting up yet, with millions more in the path of dangerous weather this week.

Gov. Andy Beshear praised the Trump administration’s response to a deadly tornado in his state, even as he worried about cuts at NWS.

The EF3 tornado caused at least $1 billion in damage in the city of St. Louis alone. At the storm’s peak, more than 100,000 lost power. Five people were confirmed dead and dozens of residents were hospitalized with injuries.

As of now, the NWS believes the storm caused minimal damage. Subsequent tornadoes that may have formed are still being investigated.

A tornado storm killed at least 19 people in Kentucky. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear joins Chris Jansing to describe the devastation his state is facing and the help his community needs.

"A maturing central U.S. storm system is expected to produce another round of dangerous severe weather and instances of flash flooding today," the National Weather Service warned Monday. The forecast discussion added that "from a broader perspective," locally heavy rain was forecast to reach from the northern Plains to Texas.

Experts say planning before a tornado threatens is key for staying safe. Weather radios, basements and bicycle helmets can all help save lives.

Long-track tornadoes account for only 0.05% of tornadoes in the United States and are classified as having a path length of greater than 50 miles.

An EF-1 tornado touched down in and near Gordon on May 18. The National Weather Service Fort Worth confirmed the tornado on Monday, May 19, citing estimated peak winds of 105 mph. An EF-1 rating is assigned for tornadoes with estimated peak winds between 86 and 110 mph.

Officials in Kansas and Texas are evaluating damage from overnight tornadoes just days after storms killed more than two dozen people in communities in Kentucky and Missouri.

Severe storms are expected to erupt across a wide swath of Texas late Monday — from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to East Texas.
