Severe Weather Warning for Mid-West/Mississippi River Valley

The Daily Mail reports:

A large swath of the U.S. is on storm alert as downpours, strong winds and hail hammer several states from Illinois to Texas.

With predictions of flooding on roads and hail the size of golf balls, motorists have been warned to be careful and, if possible, to just leave their cars in a garage.

Texas has already experienced part of the deluge, when winds and rain damaged buildings and roads in Dallas on Thursday.
