Millions of people in the central United States are bracing for powerful storms Monday including long-track tornadoes, hurricane-force winds and baseball-sized hail, forecasters said. Much of Oklahoma and parts of Kansas are at the greatest risk of bad weather — including areas in Oklahoma, such as Sulphur and Holdenville, still recovering from a tornado that killed 4 and left thousands without power last week. In all, nearly 10 million people live in areas under threat of severe weather, the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center said.
A massive storm system ripped across the Jacksonville area on Friday, causing hail and wind damage and setting off tornado warnings throughout the evening.
