  • A massive storm system spread throughout the middle of the country, causing widespread damage from South Dakota down to Mississippi.
  • That included tornadoes in Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi, which left thousands without power and were responsible for at least three deaths.
  • Take a look at these four things you can do to be prepared the next time there's a tornado warning in your area.
