From the plains of the South to the west, it is estimated that 138 million people run the risk of a severe climate, with warnings of tornadoes issued in parts of Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana and Tennessee.

The storm system has left ruins buildings, shipwrecked and intensified more than 100 forest fires.

Another person died in Butler County, on the Missouri border with Arkansas, after a mobile house was reached by an extreme climate on Friday night, they said the rescue services of the county to NBC News.

Butler County Emergency Management said the number of deaths can increase, with search and rescue operations in the current site.

In Panhandle de Texas, three people were killed by car accidents caused by AA Dust Storm on Friday, according to Sergeant of the Texas Public Security Department. Cindy Barkley. She said the accidents were in the yellow area, and blamed the strong winds and low visibility.

Millions remain at risk as the storm scale a path through the region.

More than 300,000 clients do not have energy in the west and south, according to Poweroutage.us, an organization that adds live energy off data.

Almost half a dozen tornadoes in Missouri alone were reported.

It was reported that the tornadoes had torn trees and electricity lines in the state, according to the National Meteorological Service, and the NBC KSDK affiliate of St. Louis reported that the companies were damaged and the swirls of tractors were annulled.

Tornados were also reported in Arkansas and Mississippi. The reports are not confirmed; Storm survey equipment generally determines later if the tornadoes really occurred. The meteorological service for Jackson, Mississippi, shared a photo in X of what was said to be a large wedge tornado north of Cruger.

The images that circulate on social networks and verified by NBC News showed the shattered remains of a fuel station outside a 10 -box store in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.

Other photos published by the Missouri road patrol showed storm damage to Rolla, Missouri, about 95 miles southwest St. Louis, and a bus barn in Dixon.

Strong night tornadoes in EF2 on the tornado force scale, defined by sustained winds from 113 to 157 mph, are possible from southern Iowa to Jackson, Mississippi.

The worst of the system is also threatening the harmful winds and Saturday. The size of the baseball balls in Christian County, Missouri, on Friday night, said the weather service was reported.

The governor of Missouri, Mike Kehoe, declared an emergency state on Friday when the state prepared for the unstable air of the front during the night. The statement will allow state resources to reach local governments faster, said their office.

“I urge all Missourians to stay alert, monitor weather forecasts and follow official warnings,” he said.

Florissant, Missouri, Mayor Timothy Lowery told KSDK that “we have a lot of damage” in the city, even many houses. A tree also fell at the Hendel’s historic restaurant, the station reported.

“So, tonight has been, I will say a very horrible night here in the city of Florissant,” Lowery said.

Police in St. Louis warned Friday night that there were reports of trapped vehicles in high waters, and urged people to “turn around, do not drown!”

Tornado watches were issued for parts of Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee up to at least 3 am CT, with some watches extended until 5 am

A tornado outbreak in the states of the central coast of the Gulf in the Tennessee Valley was probably on Saturday night. Significant tornades were possible in eastern Louisiana, in Mississippi and Alabama.

In Texas, blowing drivers blinded with mortal consequences, authorities said.

Sergeant of the Texas Public Security Department. Cindy Barkley said Friday that there were three fatal accidents in the yellow area due to strong winds and low visibility. The number of deaths was not clear immediately.

One person died and two were injured in an accident between three semifinals and four other vehicles in Palmer County, said Cesar Márquez, city administrator and firefighters in bovine. It was not clear if the accident was included in all three in the yellow area.

There were “so much blow that we were surprised every time we approached something,” said Márquez.

Northern Texas parts saw gusts as strong as 62 mph, according to data from the National Meteorological Service.

Potter County Fire Rescue reported that four roads were restricted or closed after separate incidents in which the big rigas had “turned.” Texas Panhandle County includes the northern half of yellow.

“Visibility is poor at best and zero in places,” the agency said on social networks. “If you don’t have to be outside, please stay where you are.”

Dust was not the only concern. The same system caused forest fires in Texas and Oklahoma on Friday when the low pressure system moved east.

The largest of the six active forest fires of the state, the wind mill fire in Roberts County, grew from 500 to 18,000 acres in less than a day, according to the Texas A&M forest service. The fire was in 50% contained Friday night.

The rest zone shot at Gray County marched through 4,500 acres on Friday, but its expansion stopped early at night, the Texas A&M forest service said. Firefighters had reached 30% containment at the end of the day, he said.

The Texas A&M forest service said Thursday that the conditions can be correct for an outbreak of forest fires of the southern Great Plains, a hazardous climatic formula based in part in low humidity and racial wind, although such sprouts were not officially declared on Friday afternoon.

Multiple fires burned in Oklahoma on Friday night.

Governor Kevin Stitt urged residents covered by mandatory evacuations in Mannford, a city in the northeast of the state was noisy on Friday night, to “leave now.”

Mandatory evacuations were also in force for parts of Norman, where multiple forest fires were burning, according to the Norman Police Department.

The mandatory evacuations in the city of Stillwater expanded on Friday night, with locations that include a Walmart and multiple hotels, and covered “several square miles.”

Apparently, winds have also helped feed multiple structure fires in the city, and fire extinguishing reinforcements are on their way, he said in a statement.

The National Meteorological Service Office in Norman said previously that “an outbreak of dangerous forest fire” was underway, then identifying fires near Chickasha, Chandler, Camargo and Leedey; and near Lago Blackwell, where residents were urged to evacuate. There was also one in Lincoln County, where evacuations were ordered north of the city of Meridian.

The low pressure system is affecting the southern and north of the Middle Section of the Nation, since it pushes east, promising agitation east of the United States until the end of the weekend.

As she moves to the east coast on Sunday, the threat of the tornado will move to Virginia and Carolinas.

On the north side of the front, including the upper west and the northern plains, snowstorm conditions were forecast for the weekend, with 8 inches of snow possible in some regions.

It was expected that the new week would bring even more winter storm actions when at least two more low pressure systems march east, said the prediction center of the meteorological of the National Meteorological Service.

The first of the two would probably form a solid and anti -horo winter storm, a process that the meteorological service calls cyclogenesis, he said. It will probably bring snow to the interior, including the west medium and the great lakes, with a second storm that is likely to bring a new wave of snow, rain and thunderstorms to a section of the nation from the rocky mountains to the western middle of the middle until the week before the first day of astronomical spring on Thursday.
