Whoa. 
Overnight, severe weather continuing to wreak havoc. More than 30 million Americans on alert for severe weather from the plains to the Midwest. In Miami County, Kansas, a powerful storms damaging at least 10 structures, knocking down rows of power lines and uprooting massive trees. 
I was up here and it was lightning and I went down to my house and it w it like started to rain and wind really hard and I just remember a lot of stuff like coming across the sky. 
In northeast Oklahoma, a severe thunderstorm moving through this tornado forming near Forer with a funnel cloud also in the sky. Missouri pounded by hail. This supercell near Interstate 49. Large stones littering the highway. Over the weekend, deadly storms across North Texas. Hail, lightning, large wedge tornado, and tornadoes where at least two people have died in storm related deaths. 
Our Iikijachi there. 
The National Weather Service says an EF2 tornado touched down right here in Runaway Bay, Texas, displacing up to 20 families in this area and causing untold damage just like this. 
Families pulled from the rubble to safety. My brother had to dig my parents out of the debris. It was terrible. 
Yeah. Everything is gone. 
And the threat is not over just yet. 
More severe weather expected today and tonight as this storm now moves
