Severe weather kills at least one as storms rip region from Michigan to Texas

Severe weather, including tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail, swept across the United States from Michigan's Upper Peninsula to Texas on Sunday and Monday, resulting in at least two deaths.
The severe weather was caused by unseasonably warm temperatures colliding with a powerful cold front, creating conditions ripe for thunderstorms and tornadoes.
A semi-truck driver, 34-year-old Jagbir Singh from Ontario, Canada, was killed in Valparaiso, Indiana, on Sunday at 4:15 p.m. When heavy winds overturned his truck on the property of Pratt Industries, while in Cherokee County, Oklahoma, a man was killed when a thunderstorm knocked a tree onto his trailer.
Meteorologist Marc Chenard stated that there would be enough moisture and instability on the warm side of a front in the South to generate thunderstorms, some of which could be severe.
As of Monday morning, over half a million homes and businesses were without power across five states, with Michigan experiencing the vast majority of outages, and nearly 100 million people were at risk as the storms moved eastward, threatening the East Coast with wind, hail, and potential flooding, urging residents to stay informed and have multiple ways to receive weather alerts.
