Severe weather systems ravaged the United States this weekend, leaving at least 37 dead as tornadoes, wildfires, and blinding dust storms swept across multiple states. The National Weather Service confirmed the extreme conditions—triggered by a rare "high risk" storm system—have subsided in some areas but warned of lingering dangerous winds in the Carolinas, eastern Georgia, and northern Florida through Sunday evening.
The volatile storms, which began on Friday, caused widespread destruction, overturning vehicles, igniting fast-moving fires, and reducing visibility to near zero in regions hit by dust storms. Emergency responders worked through the weekend to clear debris and assist displaced residents.
While the intensity of the storm surprised many, meteorologists emphasized that such extreme weather patterns are not uncommon in March due to seasonal shifts. Authorities continue to assess damages and have urged residents in affected areas to remain cautious amid ongoing risks.
