A giant cross-country storm system last week led to one hazard after another, lashing California with an atmospheric river, fueling wildfires in Oklahoma and spawning tornadoes from Missouri to Alabama.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A part of Texas felt like Mars. Huge stretches of communities across the Midwest and South were reduced to rubble. A governor lost a farmhouse to fire. And the area near a tiny town in Mississippi was struck by a tornado twice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It has all added up to a devastating mix. Since Friday, at least 40 deaths across seven states have been attributed to the storm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Here are a few things to know about the storm system and its impact.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-79157583\">Almost 100 tornadoes were reported on Friday and Saturday.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That number was reported by the Storm Prediction Center, though it may change. Overall, tornadoes and severe storms have killed at least 24 people across four states \u2014 Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri and Mississippi. Missouri has had the highest number of fatalities, 12.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Across the region, homes were leveled, with huge debris fields in their wake. In Poplar Bluff, Mo., in the southeastern corner of the state, more than 500 homes were destroyed. Alabama, where two people died, reported damage in 52 of the state\u2019s 67 counties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Mississippi, the area near Tylertown, which is near the border with Louisiana and has a population of about 1,500, was hit by tornadoes in two separate instances on Saturday. But experts say the phenomenon is not that unusual in an outbreak like this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The full extent of the damage across the region may not be known for days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tornadoes typically occur across the South at this time of year. Long-lasting tornadoes, which are rarer, had been forecast this past week, and on Sunday, meteorologists were assessing the recent series of them. Emily Thornton, a meteorologist with the Storm Prediction Center called it \u201ca high-end severe event.\u201d But it wasn\u2019t totally out of the realm for what happens in March and April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In terms of the number of tornadoes, this outbreak was not an outlier. The most recent outbreak in the United States was on March 31 and April 1, 2023, when 146 tornadoes caused 26 deaths, according to William Bunting, deputy director of the Storm Prediction Center. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-63145d01\">The winds accelerated wildfires across the Plains.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hurricane-force winds fanned wildfires that spread rapidly in Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas. The worst damage was in Oklahoma, where more than 400 homes and other structures were destroyed. At least four people have died in the state from the fires or high winds, and 142 people have been injured, the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/oklahoma.gov\/oem\/news\/newsroom\/wildfire-situation-update-3---march-16-2025.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said on Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Stillwater, a city of about 50,000 that is home to Oklahoma State University, dozens of homes burned. Gov. Kevin Stitt was among the victims \u2014 he shared video of a farmhouse he owned in Luther, outside of Oklahoma City, in ruins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Oklahoma residents deal with the threat of tornadoes all the time. But for many, encountering wildfires was a whole new experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">J. Bryson Baker, 39, has spent his entire life in Stillwater. He had never fled a fire, until Friday. His family evacuated from their home in southwestern Stillwater to stay with relatives in Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When he returned at nightfall, he said he saw flames 60 feet tall, emitting so much heat that he didn\u2019t know how firefighters could stand it. The blaze destroyed his backyard fence and part of his backyard. His one-story brick home was untouched. But other homes were in rubble.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019re tornado alley,\u201d said Mr. Baker, whose home was destroyed by a twister when he was about 8 years old. \u201cWe\u2019re typically not built or warned or necessarily prepared for wildfires.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-5722101d\">Dust storms led to deaths on the roads in two states.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The fierce winds also produced dust storms in Texas and Kansas that killed at least 12 people. In the region around Lubbock and Amarillo in Texas, officials reported more than three dozen car crashes, killing at least four people. Images on social media showed a dystopian view of the area, featuring a thick, brownish-gray haze. A man making a video could be heard saying: \u201cYou want to go to Mars? This is Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In western Kansas, eight people were killed in a vehicle pileup during a dust storm that created near-zero visibility conditions on Interstate 70 near the Colorado border, the Kansas Highway Patrol said. Forty-six people were taken to hospitals.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-4f35e02f\">As the storm system subsides, a new one is rolling in.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Monday, the storm system, which also brought hail to parts of Indiana and Kentucky over the weekend, is expected to move offshore. But as a separate storm system rolls in, critical fire conditions are expected to return on Monday and Tuesday, with strong winds predicted across eastern New Mexico, central and western Texas, western Oklahoma and southeastern Colorado.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As of early Monday morning, more than 36 million people in the United States, mostly in the Plains, were under a red flag warning, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/images\/crh\/dhs\/wwa_population.png\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">according to the National Weather Service<\/a>.
