Storms have been ripping through the Midwest Friday and Saturday and there are reports that there may be as many as 30 people dead. Severe weather is forecast throughout the weekend with about 50 million people from Texas to New York at risk for tornadoes and thunderstorms.
St. Louis, Missouri has been particularly hard hit:
