The dangerous outbreak will continue to sweep through the South and East through the weekend. Saturday could be one of the worst severe weather days of the year.

A deadly tornado outbreak ripped through Missouri, Arkansas and Mississippi overnight Friday, leaving destruction, power outages and tragic loss in its wake.

A likely tornado ripped through Elliott, Mississippi, as the community slept, flipping cars, toppling power poles and tearing homes apart. Footage shows residents sifting through the aftermath in the dark as reports of injuries and widespread destruction emerged.

Extreme winds flipped trucks and kicked up blinding dust, shutting down highways in Texas and causing issues across New Mexico and Oklahoma. With visibility near zero and conditions worsening, officials feared more pile-ups would begin to choke roadways.
