Videos from the late April 2014 tornado outbreaks

Following a historically quiet start to the spring 2014 tornado season, the rubber band snapped. Days of deadly tornadoes have been unleashed across the southern United States, and the threat lives on.

From Oklahoma into Arkansas and Missouri, major tornadoes got the outbreak sequence going on Sunday. Up next was Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee as well as surrounding areas to start the work week.

More tornadoes are expected on Tuesday, and into Wednesday as well.
