Severe Weather in the South; Winter Weather in the North

Check out this video from TornadoVideos.net of a multi-vortex tornado near Tushka/Atoka Oklahoma Thursday afternoon. So far, ten tornadoes have been reported stretching through Kansas and Oklahoma as a massive storm system continues to spin through the central of the country. Unfortunately, five people lost their lives from the storms yesterday and as the system continues to move across the south, three more fatalities have been reported. You can hear the chasers in the video on the phone with who I'm assuming is either the National Weather Service or some emergency official. And towards the end you can really hear the hail hitting the vehicle as the storm continues to move on. Absolutely amazing! Ongoing tornado watches and warnings continue for the southern states this morning.

Further to the north across North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas winter weather is the big story for residents. Winter Storm Warnings and even Blizzard Warnings will continue where anywhere between 6"-12" of snow will fall. Here is one storm report from earlier this morning in Nebraska:
