America's deadliest day for tornados in 6 years |
| When the tornado siren went off, Ellen White found her fireplace mantel and held on for dear life. "For those two minutes, it was very, very scary," she said. |
| The storm tore the roof off her two-story house in Cairo, Georgia, one of several tornadoes that killed at least 23 people and injured dozens more across the Southeast Sunday afternoon. It was America's deadliest day for tornadoes in almost six years, and the toll could still rise. |
| The storm system ripped through parts of Florida, South Carolina and Alabama. Residents in Alabama's Lee County had a nine-minute warning before the deadly twister struck, carrying winds of about 170 mph. Amid the disaster, President Donald Trump directed FEMA to give Alabama the "A Plus treatment." |

More than a '90s heartthrob: Luke Perry dead at 52 |
| Actor Luke Perry has died after "suffering a massive stroke," his rep told USA TODAY. Best known for his long-running role on "Beverly Hills, 90210" and as Archie's dad on "Riverdale," Perry was hospitalized last week after paramedics responded to a 911 call on Wednesday about a possible stroke at his Los Angeles residence. Perry, 52, is one of the more than 795,000 Americans who die each year from the nation's fifth-leading cause of death. |

'Leaving Neverland' leaves us shook |
| HBO's Michael Jackson documentary "Leaving Neverland" debuted Sunday, prompting a wave of celebrity reactions on Twitter. The documentary, which airs its second part Monday at 8 EST/PST, centers on Wade Robson, 36, and James Safechuck, 40, who say Jackson sexually abused them at ages 7 and 10, at the height of the singer's fame. Rosie O'Donnell called the documentary "haunting." Wendy Williams said she didn't think "there was any sexual touching." Jackson's estate sued HBO over the documentary after repeatedly urging the network not to air it, denouncing the film as "tabloid character assassination" by "two admitted liars." |

'Grooming and abuse' in figure skating |
| A culture of "grooming and abuse" in figure skating has gone "unchecked for too long," according to a chilling assessment Monday from the U.S. Center for SafeSport . The nonprofit's evaluation stems from work on sexual misconduct allegations against late national champion John Coughlin as well as other cases. The results come amid a war of words between the Center and U.S. Figure Skating over the investigation of Coughlin, 33, who took his life Jan. 18, one day after receiving a suspension from SafeSport. USA TODAY Sports reported that Coughlin was facing three reports of sexual misconduct against him, two of them involving minors. |
ISIS wife's case won't be fast-tracked |
| A federal court ruled that a woman who fled Alabama in 2014 to marry an Islamic State fighter doesn't deserve special treatment in her quest to return to America with her 18-month-old son. The Trump administration has barred Hoda Muthana, 24, and her son from returning to the U.S. , contesting her claim to U.S. citizenship in a move that, if successful, could have serious implications for American citizens around the world. Muthana's family wanted her case to be expedited to avoid "dangerous conditions" in Syria. She joined ISIS after leaving the University of Alabama in 2014 for Syria, where she twice married ISIS fighters who later died in combat. While in Syria, Muthana called for the death of Americans on social media. |
