More than 600,000 customers across 13 states were without power after powerful storms and tornadoes, with at least 18 people dead. Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky declared a state of emergency.
Over 12 million people in the Southeast and Midwest were under tornado watches, with alerts set to expire early Monday. The storm system was expected to bring heavy rain and thunderstorms into the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast later on Memorial Day.
The storms in Missouri were predicted to intensify and move eastward overnight, impacting Kentucky and Tennessee. Meteorologists warned of tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail in the affected areas.
