Severe storms strike Midwest, Plains.

Severe storms are currently hitting the Midwest and exiting the Plains. The storms are the result of a low pressure system moving north through the Plains with a cold front, bringing an end to the warm weather across the east US.
Multiple watches are in effect at this time, and reports of tornadoes, wind and hail have come in.
The below image is a report status.
As we can see, the storm really took off on the Missouri-Illinois storms, bringing most of the tornado reports in. The storms even extended into Oklahoma at one point. Below is an image of current watches in the US.
The red boxes are tornado watches. So, the south is getting hit, back through the Midwest nearing Chicago. They are in a squall line formation.
More information as it comes in.
