Play
Deadly tornadoes and flash flooding have killed at least 43 people in the U.S. over the past week, and severe storms will continue today in part of the Southeast.
Here & Now's Meghna Chakrabarti talked to Clay Jenkins, Dallas County judge in Texas, where at least 11 people died after tornadoes swept through on Saturday. He said that he's seen tremendous damage, and that it will be days before many residents have power again.
"I could see from the faces of our officers and first responders that it was bad," Jenkins said. "Met the mayor there and declared a state of local disaster about four minutes after I got there."
