As residents of North Texas surveyed the destruction from deadly weekend tornadoes, the storm system that spawned the twisters was bringing winter storm woes to the Midwest and worsening flooding already being 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 and caused substantial damage. The weather service said an EF-4 tornado, which is the second-most powerful with winds up to more than 200 mph, hit the community at about 6:45 p.m. Saturday. The storms and flooding in Missouri and Illinois were the latest in a succession of severe weather events across the country that have led to at least 43 deaths in less than a week.

New Jersey E-ZPass customers have until midnight Monday to enroll in the bridge commuter discount, offered by the Delaware River Port Authority.

The savings plan will credit $18 towards the E-ZPass account , for commuters who pass over one of the four bridges more than 18 times in a calendar month. The bridges include the Ben Franklin, the Betsy Ross, the Commodore Barry and the Walt Whitman. If you donâ€™t enroll this month, you can enroll next month.
