The storm also brought heavy rain to a broad swath of north-central Texas across central-eastern Oklahoma, which saw 2 to 4 inches accumulate Saturday into Sunday.

Severe weather threatened more than 45 million Americans on Easter Sunday, as a treacherous string of thunderstorms continued to strike parts of the southern and midwestern United States, causing flooding and at times tornado risks across a substantial block of the country from East Texas to southeastern Iowa and Illinois.

Flash floods led to two deaths in Moore, Oklahoma as severe storms hit parts of that state and Texas Saturday night. The storm system also spawned multiple tornado reports across both states.
