At least 13 people have died in multiple states due to severe weather across the country as a powerful storm system that brought golf ball-sized hail and tornadoes to the South continues to march Saturday across the Northeast.
The storm spurred wind gusts strong enough to topple tractor-trailer trucks, leaving more than 1 million people without power and threatening to bring more torrential rain, tornadoes and heavy snow.
The storm system is the same that dumped feet of snow across parts of California, leaving some trapped in their homes with snow piled as high as second-story windows and prompting the governor to declare a state of emergency in 13 counties. Many of those affected are now bracing for another round of snow and rain on Saturday from a new system.
At least five Kentuckians have died in connection with the severe weather that hit the area Friday, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said during a news briefing on Saturday.
CNN previously reported four deaths across the commonwealth in Edmonson, Simpson, Logan and Fayette counties. The additional death being reported was an 84-year-old man in Bath County, Beshear said.
Beshear said it will take days to restore power in some places, and that as of 11:11 a.m. ET Saturday, 396,517 Kentuckians were without power. He said 1,874 Kentuckians are under a boil water advisory with five water districts working under limited operations.
In Tennessee, two people died. A man was killed after a tree fell on the vehicle he was riding in, the Humphreys County Emergency Management Agency told CNN via email. An elderly woman in Hendersonville died after a tree fell on her while she was walking with a neighbor Friday, according to a news release from the City of Hendersonville.
A high school student in Sumner County, Tennessee was critically injured Friday by a tree that fell during severe storms and is not expected to survive, local officials said Saturday. According to Liberty Creek High School, Brooks was being kept on life support until Sunday. “Even in her passing, she will give back to others by being an organ donor,” the school announced. “Please join us in praying for this family and all who were fortunate enough to know her.”
Three other people died in Alabama, one in Arkansas, one in Mississippi and one in California, according to officials.
Nearly 15 million people were under winter weather alerts as of 8:45 a.m. ET Saturday along the West Coast and in New England, with another 25 million under wind alerts.

Some of these people do not respect the power of nature, and it shows.
at 2:44 , what is that?
angri sky
She ask where it’s going and see that it’s going a certain way.. but tornadoes is unpredictable..
As the climate heads into greater extremes globally, how can we best deal with future climate crises?
The short answer is that we cannot deal with them unless we take care of nature's inner balance.
We live in a tightly-closed and interdependent system in which everything boomerangs back to us. While living in such a system, we need to reconsider what we want and think, and how we treat each other, because our human connections are the primary influence on how nature responds to us.
It is common to think that climate is dependent on factors outside of us—whether it be balances between heat and cold in the environment, or the effects of various kinds of pollution we emit—because we lack a complete picture of how our attitudes to each other bring about the strongest responses from nature toward us.
No creature distorts nature the way that we people do. And it is not simply a matter of switching to renewable energy sources, electric cars and the like; it is a matter of how we relate to each other.
If we truly wish to witness more balance throughout nature and not have to deal with all kinds of cold waves and other natural disasters, then similarly to how we have electricity, water and gas meters in our homes, we should also have meters that count how much evil we emit into the world from our negative attitudes to each other. What I mean is that if we could feel the extent to which we emit negative forces into the world, which negatively ricochet back to us, then we would wish to change this negative driver within us. We would want to switch it to a drive that makes our human connections positive, and which harmonizes us with nature.
In simple terms, when we get up in the morning, we should first and foremost consider what we need to do in order for all people to have it good. Developing such an attitude is not so simple, yet we will need to seriously work on it as we head into the future. A life of increasing blows from nature or a life of peace and harmony depends on the extent to which we impact a shift in our attitudes to each other—from negative to positive.
Great footage but risky
Just a casual day for northern Dallas TX. People here in TX don't fear tornados since they occur so often. They just Stare at it 😂.
3:00
6:30
🤯😱
It would be nice if people turned their phone sideways.
I can't help but wonder if all of these people who insist on filming things in portrait mode on their cell phones hang their TV's on their wall in portrait mode also. 🤔
Was the one at 4:50 in Shreveport, LA?
2 of those twisters were rated EF2, the one that hit Kirby AR, and the one that hit Fremont KY.
amazing 😀
both days had the potential to be far worse, luckily they weren't. especially Friday
6:30 Just a normal day in Ohio.
another great work with the videos!
no joke about ohio? thats good
"get inside" "no, I wanna see it"
Ohio 💀💀💀
Glad that BBQ wasn't too badly damaged at the end
Trump said the tornadoes were faked by the democrats
No ef5s coming up to 10 years in May, although the rating system is flawed in many ways and needs to be changed somewhat
I feel so bad for laughing at the clip at 2:03
God bless and keep you guys 🥺❣🙏🏼
I grew up in tornado alley – panhandle of Texas. We never had tornadoes this time of year. No one can convince me climate crisis is a hoax
I slept through it.
We live north of Austin and almost directly east of something called the "Balcones Plateau", a geographic feature that splits storms coming from the west. It's a crazy feeling to see these storms coming on radar, then watch them split in half, with the bottom hitting the city proper and racing towards houston, and the top heading for dallas, while we just get a few sprinkles. Crazy to think of all the terror we dodge.
Mother nature is going crazy. She’s trying to kill us off. Because we are the dirty infection on her beautiful face. She’s trying to kill us. If she kills us a few at a time that’s OK but with the Covid she killed millions of us and she almost got it right that time
Apparently every idiot on the planet earth records vertical videos.
