Severe storms have brought large hail and powerful winds to Alabama, also providing much-needed rain to the drought-stricken Southeast. The storms are part of a larger system that may impact other regions, including the Midwest, where a severe weather outbreak is possible, and Texas and Oklahoma, which are experiencing huge hail and tornadoes. The extent of the damage and affected areas is not yet fully clear, with some parts of the South already beginning recovery from previous flooding.
