A powerful storm system swept across the central and southern U.S. over the weekend, creating tornadoes, wildfires, and dust storms that led to at least 39 deaths. The storm caused widespread destruction, displacing hundreds of residents and damaging neighborhoods severely, particularly in Mississippi where entire communities were ruined. Although the storm system weakened, parts of the southeastern U.S. remained under threat of thunderstorms, hail, and damaging winds. Meteorologists labeled this event as a rare high-risk situation, causing significant losses in areas like Texas and Oklahoma where hundreds of fires were reported.
The storm front, which began on Friday, was declared a rare high-risk event by meteorologists. Such extreme weather is not uncommon in March, but the system inflicted extraordinary damage over a widespread area.
Forecasters issued warnings for hazardous winds stretching from Florida to New Jersey, while heavy rain threatened areas across New York and New England.
