Friday's severe weather outbreak from Louisiana to Pennsylvania left 11 people dead in Tennessee, after 24 died in last weekend's storm. Tornadoes were reported in Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi.

CNN has a photo gallery and video of the storm. A complete radar animation from the storm is below. Select animations from local radars are available here. More radar and satellite animations will be provided by Monday.
