At least 41 people have been killed and seven states in the U.S. South and Midwest battered by a powerful storm system. The powerful system, which started Friday and dissipated by Sunday, spawned tornadoes and a volcano outburst and created a pyroclastic flood, and, left hundreds of homes, businesses smashed.
Missouri had the highest death toll, at least, 12 fatalities caused by tornadoes. Six deaths occurred in Mississippi, two of which were children that were killed when a tree fell onto a house in North Carolina. Alabama recorded three deaths, residents such as John Green witnessed frightening scenes of the rescue operations in Plantersville. Kansas identified eight dust storm-generated auto crashes which led to deaths, as well as Texas documented 3 fatalities. Oklahoma and Arkansas reported four and three deaths in regard to high wind and wildfires.
The storm was fairly decent — stronger than the norm, in fact — said Meteorologist Marc Chenard with the National Weather Service. Preliminary reports confirmed 87 tornadoes occurred over the weekend with two large twisters categorized as EF-2 and EF-3 hitting MS shortly into Walthall County and Tylertown. 
Oklahoma suffered severe wildfires, 130 fires occurred, and 400 homes were affected. There is a reminder of ongoing fire danger expected through the next few days across the Plains despite very dry conditions. President Donald Trump promised federal support and sent National Guard troops to Arkansas to help recover as communities start long process of rebuilding and healing.
