It’s official: the current tornado outbreak is among the most severe of any two-day stretch in the past decade. After an early season lull, Sunday was the deadliest tornado day since May 20, 2013, when an EF-5 tornado hit the Oklahoma City metro area. Sunday’s storms killed at least 16 people in Arkansas and Oklahoma, according to a Reuters report. There were 30 tornado reports in seven states on Sunday.
The ongoing tornado outbreak reached its second day on Monday, with live video from a local television station showing a large tornado approaching Tupelo, Miss.
