Intense Storms and Floods Hit Central U.S.
------------------------------------------

In the central United States, a series of intense storms brought flash
flooding, baseball-sized hail and at least 19 tornadoes to parts of
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas on Monday. Authorities canceled
classes for 150,000 schoolchildren, as heavy rains forced the closure of
Interstate 40 and other highways, and emergency responders rescued
people from flooded homes.
