A large swath of the eastern U.S. is bracing for severe weather as the Memorial Day weekend comes to a close. Severe storms were expected to stretch from Alabama to upstate New York on Monday evening, with the possibility of intense rainfall, flash flooding, hail, heavy winds, and tornadoes. This follows a weekend of deadly storms that caused power outages and disrupted travel in the South and Midwest.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear confirmed five storm-related deaths, including those from a tornado that hit Charleston. The area is no stranger to devastating tornadoes, having faced a similar situation in 2021. The impact of the recent storms highlights the ongoing challenges faced by communities trying to recover from previous disasters.
