States across America saw deadly storms this Memorial Day weekend and over 20 people died because of the tornadoes and severe weather that affected multiple parts of the country.
An Oklahoma woman and her daughter-in-law died Saturday when a tornado passed through northeast Oklahoma, eight people died in Arkansas, seven in Texas and five in Kentucky because of the severe weather and tornados that occurred over the weekend.
On Monday, cars on the highway in Dallas camped out under an overpass to avoid getting pelted by hail, reports Fox 4.
Meanwhile, over 280,000 homes and businesses, from Missouri and Arkansas to Virginia and Georgia, lost power. However, Kentucky saw 98,000 without power, which crowned them the state with the most outages this weekend.
The damage that was left in the wake of the storm was captured in photos.
Severe weather continues today
Videos posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, show the storms that are hitting parts of Texas Tuesday morning.
Texas and Florida are also going to see midsummer-like temperatures over the next few days because of a heat wave and can possibly see heat index readings that are over 115 degrees, states the National Weather Service.
