Monday’s severe storms killed at least 34 people in the South, with more than 1 million homes and businesses losing power. The storms were “as bad or worse than anything we’ve seen in a decade,” Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said.

All this during a pandemic? Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey suspended social distancing rules, with people huddling together in storm shelters as tornadoes, heavy rain, and mudslides destroyed homes. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said many storm victims were already out of work due to COVID-19: “Now they have lost literally everything they own.”

At least 22 people died when severe weather swept across the South overnight Sunday. Heavy rain, mudslides, strong winds, and tornadoes damaged hundreds of homes and knocked out power across a 10-state stretch from Texas to Georgia and up into West Virginia.

Tennessee authorities revised the death toll from Tuesday’s tornadoes to 24 as rescuers continued to search devastated neighborhoods for bodies. The storms struck early in the morning, destroying 140 buildings and burying people in rubble—many before they could get out of bed. One twister mowed through a 10-mile stretch of Nashville. Dozens of people were still missing on Wednesday.

At least 25 people died when tornadoes ripped across Middle Tennessee early Tuesday. One of the twisters tore off roofs, toppled trees, and demolished homes in downtown Nashville.

Despite two days of sunshine, the Pearl River was still spilling over into neighborhoods in Mississippi’s capital city on Sunday. Heavy rains forced authorities at the Barnett Reservoir northeast of Jackson to open the spillway late Saturday, triggering floods downstream. Law enforcement officers have been going door to door telling people in affected areas to leave. “We do not anticipate this situation to end anytime soon,” Gov. Tate Reeves said. “It will be days before we are out of the woods and the waters start to recede.”

At least five people died in the South as strong winds downed trees and complicated travel. The storm system left more than 300,000 homes and businesses in the southeastern United States without power on Friday. The inclement weather stretched from the Deep South up into New England.

Residents of South Florida got an unusual warning from the National Weather Service in Miami on Tuesday: “This isn’t something we usually forecast, but don’t be surprised if you see iguanas falling from the trees tonight as lows drop into the 30s and 40s. Brrrr!” It was a fair warning—male iguanas can grow to at least 5 feet long and weigh nearly 20 pounds.
