Another potent storm is putting millions in the United States in harm’s way again, just days after a deadly cross-country storm left a trail of destruction in its wake.

Violent tornadoes and high winds decimated homes, wiped out schools and toppled semitractor-trailers as a monster storm that killed at least 32 people ripped its way across the central and southern U.

On Monday, 8 million people were under winter storm watches and warnings, although the storms' impacts were less severe than those over the weekend.
