People Iowa through Oklahoma were faced with severe weather into Tuesday night as a round of powerful thunderstorms erupted over the central United States causing major damage.

Tuesday’s severe storms are forecast to focus on a zone from central Texas to southern Iowa. This includes St. Louis, Kansas City, Oklahoma City and some of the suburbs of Dallas.
"While large hail, damaging winds and flooding will be the main threats from these storms, the danger of tornadoes cannot be overstated," according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Brett Edwards.
The area at highest risk of more damaging storms and tornadoes will be northeastern Kansas and northern Missouri.
Meanwhile, severe storms are expected to track across the mid-Atlantic and could spin up some tornadoes across Pennsylvania into early Tuesday night.
