Wild weather hits central USA

Doyle Rice, USA TODAY 11:20 a.m. EDT April 3, 2014
A tornado hit suburban St. Louis Thursday morning, part of a potent spring storm that's forecast to hammer much of the central U.S. Thursday with a wild mix of severe storms that could bring flooding rain and heavy snow.
"Thursday will be a prime day for severe weather, with risks ranging from damaging wind gusts and large hail to flash flooding and tornadoes spanning multiple states," said AccuWeather severe weather expert Henry Margusity,
A tornado touched down briefly in the St. Louis suburb of University City early Thursday, damaging some homes and bringing down trees and power lines. No injuries were immediately reported. Heavy rain also led to flooding in some areas.
Jim Sieveking of the National Weather Service in St. Louis says the tornado hit ground at 5:23 a.m. CT Thursday as a strong storm system with intense lightning and heavy rain moved through the St. Louis region.

Overall, "43 million people will be at risk for violent and dangerous storms on Thursday from the Gulf Coast to the Ohio Valley," according to AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.
