The National Weather Service estimates about 58 tornados hit the South last night, and more severe weather is on the way.

A tornado with wind speeds of up to 100 miles per hour hit Kimberly, a town of less than 3,000 people. Two of its most important buildings were damaged -- one almost completely obliterated.
