Following the storms over the weekend in which at least 17 people died, tornadoes raced across the southeastern US last night, killing at least 11 more people.
The storm front killed at least 11 people on Monday when it slammed into parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee and produced more than 50 tornado reports in 24 hours.And the severe weather isn't done yet.
On Tuesday, the areas hit hardest by severe weather "are going to get a repeat performance," according to The Weather Channel's chief meteorologist, Kevin Roth. He said the severe storm that kicked off the chain of deadly tornadoes was so slow-moving that it's "almost stationary."Tornadoes are terrifying, especially because they're so unpredictable. If you've never been in one, it's hard to understand how fast and devastating they can be. Be as safe as you can, everyone.
Roth warned that eastern Mississippi, eastern Tennessee and "all of Alabama" could be in line for a second hit — putting millions of people at risk.
"It is almost identical areas that are under the gun, two days in a row," Roth said. "That's not normally the case."
