Millions in the Midwest under storm watches as Nebraska and Iowa communities reel from devastating tornadoes

One day after destructive tornadoes plowed through Nebraska and Iowa, millions of people in parts of Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma were under tornado watches Saturday evening.

One tornado watch area includes the Kansas City metropolitan area and 2.7 million people in southeastern Kansas and western and central Missouri, according to the National Weather Service. The watch, which means severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are possible in and near the watch area, lasts until midnight CT.
