More severe storms were expected to roll across the central U.S. this week following the weather-related deaths of more than two dozen people and a devastating Kentucky tornado. The National Weather Service said a “multitude of hazardous weather” would impact the U.

A violent, tornado-spawning storm system tore across the central US, leaving at least 25 people dead in Missouri and southeastern Kentucky as it cut a path of destruction through several states.

Kentucky was hardest hit in the storm system that began Friday. A devastating tornado damaged hundreds of homes, tossed vehicles and left many people homeless. At least 18 people were killed in the state.
