SUMMARY: A severe storm system sweeping across the South and Midwest has caused significant devastation, resulting in over a dozen fatalities and affecting more than two million people from Texas to Missouri. Major flooding and tornadoes have led to widespread road closures and rescues, including a tragic incident where a 9-year-old boy drowned in floodwaters in Kentucky. As mudslides and downpours persist, authorities emphasize the dangers of driving in flooded areas. The National Weather Service has issued numerous tornado warnings, and forecasters predict continued risks of catastrophic flash flooding in parts of Arkansas, Missouri, and Tennessee through early Monday.

The same weather system being tracked across Georgia claimed the lives of more than a dozen people throughout the South and Midwest. Forecasters say additional flooding and potential tornadoes are on the way.
