Destructive Storms Rumble Across US, Tropics Remain Active

A widespread outbreak of severe weather slammed a large portion of the U.S. early in the week, extending from the Gulf Coast to the Tennessee Valley.
The fierce, and deadly storms, spawned tornadoes, caused widespread power outages and damaged homes and structures in their path.
"While October severe weather outbreaks are not unheard of, this one still managed to be rather robust, with multiple confirmed tornadoes and an abundance of wind damage," AccuWeather Meteorologist Evan Duffey said.
Following the fierce storms, heavy rain inundated areas from the Ohio Valley to the Carolinas through Wednesday before moving into the northeastern U.S. Thursday.
