May 27 (Reuters) - Tornado-spawning thunderstorms that swept the Southern Plains
and the Ozark Mountains have killed at least 21 people across four U.S. states
as of Monday afternoon and wrecked hundreds of buildings, as forecasters warned
of more severe weather.
The death toll over the three-day Memorial Day holiday weekend included at least
eight fatalities in Arkansas, seven in Texas, four in Kentucky and two in
Oklahoma, according to tallies by state emergency authorities.

A severe thunderstorm watch was issued for parts of New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania until Monday evening, the National Weather Service said. The watch
was in effect for more than 30 million people in the Northeast, as the storms
were expected to move to that part of the East Coast.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency early on Monday.
The weather serviceNew Tab, opens new tab issued a severe thunderstorm watch for
the Atlanta area and other parts of Georgia and for several western South
Carolina counties until at least Monday afternoon.

"It was a tough night for our people," Beshear posted on social media platform X
on Monday. He later said in a press briefing that devastating storms had hit
almost the entire state. The storms damaged 100 state highways and roads,
officials said.
At least seven people perished - including a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old from a
family - and nearly 100 were injured on Saturday night when a powerful tornado
struck communities in North Texas near the Oklahoma border, Governor Greg Abbott
told a Sunday news conference.

Late on Sunday, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders said at least eight
people died in her state after the storms. An Arkansan suffering from chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease died due to a lack of oxygen when the power went
out.
President Joe Biden offered condolences for the lives lost when he spoke on
Monday with Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and Governors Abbott and Sanders, the
White House said.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency was on the ground conducting damage
assessments with state and local counterparts, the White House said, adding that
Biden had directed federal agencies to provide support as needed.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans were without power on Monday due to the
weather, according to the PowerOutage.US tracking website. In Kentucky alone,
more than 160,000 customers lacked electricity.
In some areas, restoring power could take days, Kentucky Governor Beshear said
in a news briefing.
The weather service warned that additional storms would move through the Ohio
and Tennessee valleys, bringing damaging winds, large hail and more tornadoes,
as well as heavy downpours capable of triggering flash floods.
The latest extreme weather came just days after a powerful tornado ripped
through an Iowa town, killing four people, and more twisters touched down in
Texas last week.
The U.S. is preparing for what government forecasters have called a potentially
"extraordinary" 2024 Atlantic hurricane season beginning next Saturday.
