\"We want to be safe. We want to make sure we stay away from downed powerlines. Assume every downed line is live,\" Forester said.

At least 1,336 severe storms in the last four days have ravaged a large part of the nation from Texas through the Midwest and up to the Northeast. This spring has seen the most severe storms since 2011.

The National Weather Service said it received 76 reports of tornadoes over the holiday weekend in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas.

At least 22 people were killed in severe-weather incidents over the weekend, officials said.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said 106 counties in Texas were under disaster declarations over the weekend, adding that more than 200 homes or structures were destroyed and another 120 were damaged.

One of the most destructive twisters touched down Saturday in Valley View, Texas, about 60 miles northwest of Dallas, causing seven deaths, including two children from the same family, officials said. The North Texas twisters caused major damage to the FRF Estates community and the Gateway AP Travel Center, both in Valley View, officials said.

The Valley View tornado, confirmed by the National Weather Service as an EF-2 on the Enhanced Fujita tornado rating scale with winds of up to 135 mph, was the deadliest tornado to hit Texas since December 2015 when a twister killed 10 people near Dallas.

Members of the Bolden family told ABC News that they were traveling through Valley View when a tornado warning prompted them to pull off the road and seek shelter at the Gateway AP Travel Center.

\"We got out and went in the store, and five minutes later, the power went out,\" Anjelic Bolden told ABC's \"Good Morning America\" Tuesday. \"And when the power went out, I ran to the bathroom and hid under the sink in the bathroom. I was scared for my life. I never experienced that before.\"

Kenneth Bolden Sr. said he and his son took shelter in the men's room of the travel center as the roof caved in.

\"My ears were popping. You couldn't even focus on anything because everything was just moving, people were screaming, babies were crying and all you wanted to do was wish that it was over,\" Bolden Sr. told GMA.

The dangerous weather also prompted major delays for holiday travelers at airports in Dallas, Atlanta and New York City.
