In Lewisville, Texas, storms tore down part of a warehouse, scattering damage throughout the vicinity.
The heavy winds kicked up dust storms in Texas, reducing visibility to as low as 1.5 miles in San Angelo before the dust traveled to the Dallas-Fort Worth area as well as Waco, San Antonio and other parts of the state.
Hundreds of thousands were still without power early Wednesday from Texas to North Carolina, according to PowerOutage.us.
Wednesday brings more severe weather, with the possibility of strong winds, hail and more tornadoes in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic.
