Violent Storms in Central U.S.

It turns out that last Wednesday's severe weather outbreak didn't impact as many people as meteorologists had predicted.  Nor was it as dangerous an outbreak as they thought it might be.  Things have changed a bit since the middle of last week, however, as severe weather has been rolling through the middle of the country. States impacted over the weekend include Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas.  The weather was unstable as heavy thunderstorms and isolated tornadoes swept through.  The violent weather came eastward today. States impacted include Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee, and states even further eastward will be hit by the storms in the coming days. Unfortunately, according to the Associated Press, seven people have died in Alabama and Mississippi as a result of the severe weather on Monday.  Some of the images being sent to AccuWeather.com show how strong these storms are and how much damage they can produce.  I suggest people check out the site and see what's happening.
