Flooding and tornadoes cause widespread damage in U.S. South and Midwest
(ASSOCIATED PRESS) Standing alongside the twisted steel tractors on his family farm in northeast Arkansas on Thursday, Danny Qualls looked on while friends and relatives helped him begin cleaning up.
The home where he spent his childhood but no longer lives was flattened by one of many tornadoes that left behind destruction from Oklahoma to Indiana — the first in a round of storms expected to bring historic rains and life-threatening flash floods across the nation’s midsection in the coming days.
“My husband has been extremely tearful and emotional, but he also knows that we have to do the work,” Rhonda Qualls said. “He was in shock last night, cried himself to sleep.”
At least seven people were killed in Tennessee, Missouri and Indiana in the initial wave on Wednesday and early Thursday that spawned powerful tornadoes — one of which launched light debris nearly 5 miles (8 kilometers) into the air above Arkansas.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said it was too early to know whether there were more deaths as searches persisted.
“The devastation is enormous. What’s most difficult about it is, you know that those are lives destroyed,” Lee said in the hard-hit town of Selmer. “In some cases, true life lost, but in other cases, everything people owned, up in trees.”

TORNADOS OF FEAR – 2025?
By day and night, the fountains of the sky
Consumed structures, beast, and man.
As flood waters rushed as never before
Over the once peaceful inhabited land.
Tornado winds hit like an atom bomb
Over the helpless with absolute wrath.
Twisters of the sky fell forth
Changing everything in their path.
Our love of the brave was seen by many
While rescue crews were saving others.
They risked their life and laid it on the line
To save God’s sisters and brothers.
