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.

It was a night of tragedy and destruction as severe storms pounded the middle of the country.

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.

Wildfires fueled by extreme winds and smoke, combined with dust storms, have caused deadly pileups and road closures across Texas and Oklahoma, with at least one confirmed death.
