The Mid-South is bracing for more severe weather as residents try to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of savage tornadoes that left several people dead and many homes destroyed.
As many as 10 tornadoes ripped through Alabama and Georgia on Thursday, killing at least six people and causing widespread damage to homes and public property. The tornadoes uprooted 100-year-old trees, stripped roofs from houses and seriously damaged schools and businesses.

“Just be thankful for everything you’ve got, because you are not promised the next day. Nothing is,” Watson said.
The National Weather Service (NWS) is forecasting that the region will not have a chance to rest as excessive rainfall and severe thunderstorms create a moderate risk of flash flooding.
“Today will be another busy weather day across the Mid-South and Tennessee Valley,” the NWS Weather Prediction Center tweeted Saturday. “Heavy rain/flash flooding, plus the threat of severe thunderstorms are possible through tonight.”

The Mid-South will also see a low chance — up to 10% — of more tornados, according to the center.
The day will start sunny with warm temperatures, but a cold front sweeping through the region in the afternoon Saturday will upset the systems, bringing the more-severe weather.
NWS St. Louis has forecast a chance for large hail and damaging winds in the area.
