<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At least forty people were killed as fierce winds and tornadoes ripped across the country over the weekend, slamming the Midwest and the South. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Twenty-four of the deaths were attributed to tornadoes, while wind-fueled dust storms and fires resulted in another 16 deaths.

More than 25,000 customers are without electricity in Missouri, 56,000 in Pennsylvania, and 23,000 in New York, <a href="https://poweroutage.us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to PowerOutage.us. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump said Sunday that he had activated the National Guard in response to the storms. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We are actively monitoring the severe tornadoes and storms that have impacted many States across the South and Midwest — 36 innocent lives have been lost, and many more devastated,” he </span><a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114174243289152293"><span style="font-weight: 400;">posted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on Truth Social on Sunday. “The National Guard have been deployed to Arkansas, and my Administration is ready to assist State and Local Officials, as they help their communities to try and recover from the damage. Please join Melania and me in praying for everyone impacted by these terrible storms!”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’ve seen it before, but this is probably the worst I’ve ever seen,” Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Tod Hileman told KSNW. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Missouri, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama were all slammed by tornadoes, as at least 56 developed across 10 different states, <a href="https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/severe-weather-tornadoes-dust-storm-blizzard-midwest-plains-southeast-east-coast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Fox Forecast Center.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alabama Republican Governor Kay Ivey said on Sunday that most of her state had been impacted by the storms. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We have reports of damage in 52 of our 67 counties. Our damage assessment continues. The sun has risen in Alabama, though.
