At least 19 people are dead as severe storms and tornadoes swept across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kentucky over the weekend, and more than 100 million people are at risk of severe weather on the East Coast on Monday.

The deadliest storms were in Arkansas, where eight people have been confirmed dead, and Texas, where seven people have died, CNN reported. Two people have been confirmed dead in Oklahoma following the storms and another two people were killed in Kentucky when the severe weather ripped through most of the Bluegrass State on Sunday night.

Cooke County, Texas — near the Oklahoma border — took the brunt of the storms, which killed seven people, including two children on Saturday night. The seven deaths were reported after a tornado swept through a rural area near a mobile home park, according to Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, the Associated Press reported. Two of the seven killed were a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old. Three others killed in the north Texas storm were a mother and her two children, ages 15 and 9, according to NBC DFW.

The storms continued east through Arkansas, where the city of Rogers was hit hard by a tornado early Sunday morning. Aerial footage of the town showed numerous homes and buildings that were leveled by the storm.

“It was horrible. It was so loud and we were so scared,” one Rogers, Arkansas, resident said through tears.

“We were in the hallway. That’s all we had to go into was the hallway,” the woman added.

More footage posted on social media Monday morning showed the destruction caused by a tornado that touched down in Dawson Springs, Kentucky, about 160 miles southwest of Louisville.

Forecasters said that storms are likely to move through states from Alabama to as far east as New York on Monday. New York City; Philadelphia; Washington, D.C.; Richmond, Virginia; and Raleigh, North Carolina are all under a moderate risk for severe thunderstorms throughout Memorial Day, and isolated tornadoes are possible, The Weather Channel reported.
