More than 100 tornadoes were reported Saturday and early Sunday causing significant damage in Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota. Five people died. The National Weather Service took the unusual step of warning people more than 24 hours in advance of a possible “high-end, life-threatening event.” Residents described the intense storm.

Kyle Taylor: “It started raining like crazy, and a tree limb was spinning around. I went into the bathroom, and then it was all over with, pretty much.”
