Fast-moving storms have pummeled parts of the Midwest with hail, strong wind and heavy rain. Official say the storms flooded streets, stranded commuters and downed trees, including one in western Michigan that landed on a man and killed him. More storms are forecast through Monday night. The National Weather Service forecasts show more than 56 million people in the Midwest and parts of the South are at risk of severe storms. In Kansas City, Missouri, the local fire department responded to 11 water rescues Monday morning following heavy rain.

At least two people have died from a severe tornado-producing storm that hit northern Texas, and many homes have sustained major damage. Wise County Judge J.D. Clark says the storm came through the town of Runaway Bay around 10 p.m. Saturday, killing one person. Emergency responders worked to clear debris. The storm also hit Springtown, where Parker County Assistant Fire Chief David Pruitt says a second person died outside the city limits. On Sunday, National Weather Service teams confirmed that an EF-2 tornado hit the Runaway Bay area and that an EF-1 tornado struck the Springtown area.

Officials say a powerful storm churned up multiple tornadoes that barreled through Oklahoma, damaging at least 40 homes and sending emergency crews door-to-door in a hard hit neighborhood. The most extensive damage was in the rural town of Enid in Garfield County on Thursday night, where some homes were reduced to rubble. Video shows a rapidly moving column of air touching down along with totaled homes. The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office said there were no immediate reports of fatalities and only minor injuries hours after the tornado passed through. The mayor of Enid says some people were trapped in their homes and had to be rescued.

A super typhoon steadily battered a pair of remote U.S. islands in the Pacific Ocean with ferocious winds and relentless rains. The storm shredded tin roofs and forced residents to take cover from flying tree limbs on Tinian and Saipan, which are home to 50,000 people. A spokesperson for Saipan's mayor says preliminary reports of damage from Super Typhoon Sinlaku include a lot of flooding, uprooted trees and downed power lines. There were no reports of deaths. The National Weather Service says the tropical typhoon was packing sustained winds of up to 150 mph when it made landfall on the islands.

The Afghanistan Disaster Management Authority says widespread flooding, landslides and lightning strikes triggered by heavy rain and storms across the country have left 77 people dead and 137 injured over the past 10 days. More rain has been forecast for the coming days throughout Afghanistan, and the authority has warned the public to stay away from river banks and areas prone to flooding. So far this year, dozens of people have died due to extreme weather in Afghanistan, an impoverished country that is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events.
