Texas surveys tornado damage as deadly U.S. storm system brings new woes to Midwest

As residents of North Texas surveyed the destruction from deadly weekend tornadoes, the storm system that spawned the twisters brought winter storm woes to the Midwest on Monday and amplified flooding that's blamed for more than a dozen deaths.

At least 11 people died and dozens were injured in the tornadoes that swept through the Dallas area on Saturday and caused substantial damage. That, plus the flooding in Missouri and Illinois, was the latest in a succession of severe weather events across the country in the last week that led to at least 43 deaths.

• Texas tornadoes, Illinois floods latest in string of deadly U.S. weather events
• Tornado causes 'significant damage' in Birmingham, Alabama
• Survivors of deadly U.S. storms in South thankful to see Christmas
• U.S. storms in South leave at least 14 people dead

The weather system originating in Texas is expected to bring snow, mixed at times with ice pellets, to southern Ontario on Monday evening, then change to rain before morning.

A range of precipitation was forecast Monday for the U.S. midsection, including heavy snow, ice and blustery winds in parts of 11 states and heavy rain in already-waterlogged parts of Missouri and Arkansas.
