Deadly tornadoes swept across the Midwest and South over two days, causing a death toll of at least 28 and throwing multiple states into chaos.

And more are coming.

The tornadoes continue to terrorize the area Tuesday, with warnings and watches issued for Alabama, Mississippi, northern Georgia and parts of Florida.

CNN reports that some 75 million Americans — one third of the country — may be at risk of severe storms and tornadoes Tuesday.

Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee lost an overall 11 people Monday.

On Sunday, tornadoes killed at least 18 in Arkansas and Oklahoma. In Vilonia, Ark., an area of 80 miles was completely destroyed by a half-mile-wide tornado, leaving behind wreckage, uprooted trees and flattened homes and businesses.

The National Weather Service said almost 100 tornadoes had been reported.

Meanwhile, President Obama spoke on the disaster during a press conference in the Philippines.

“Your country will be there to help you recover and rebuild as long as it takes,” he said.
