Governor Lee also observed the efforts of the teams working in the disaster area. Tornadoes and floods wreaked havoc on several US states in the Midwest and South on Sunday, killing at least 21 people. Tornadoes in Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Tennessee were expected to cause significant flooding of buildings, roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Hundreds of Kentucky roads are impassable due to fallen trees, floodwaters, and landslides. A mandatory evacuation order was issued for 2,000 residents of a town in the state's northern region. "Large temperature swings can be expected across the continental US in the next few days," the National Weather Service said in a statement on Sunday. Forecasters attributed the severe weather to high temperatures, an unstable atmosphere, strong wind shear, and a significant flow of moisture from the Gulf, according to the Independent.
