At least 37 people were killed as a sprawling storm barreled across the nation’s midsection toward the East Coast.

A powerful storm system that tore across the United States in recent days is winding down Monday, but in its wake are devastated communities across states hit with violent tornadoes, wildfires and dust storms spun off by the massive system.

Unusually vicious and damaging weather across multiple U.S. states spawned violent tornadoes, blinding dust storms, and fast-moving wildfires over the weekend, leaving at least 39 people dead.
