In Missouri, severe storms tore through Jefferson City overnight,
spawning tornadoes that flattened buildings and damaged the state
Capitol building. Authorities reported at least three storm-related
deaths across Missouri on Wednesday. Meanwhile, there are forecasts for
record-breaking high temperatures in the Southeast-with highs of over
100 degrees possible in an area stretching from Virginia to Alabama. The
