Serious storms and tornadoes tear the United States in the South and Midwest, killing a person | American Weather

Violent storms and tornadoes have torn the United States in the south and the midwest, killing at least one person and below the electric lines and trees, breaking the houses and the overthrow of cars in several states.

Dozens of tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings were issued in some parts of Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Mississippi on Wednesday evening. In Arkansas, the National Weather Service told residents: “It’s a deadly situation. Look for a shelter now.”

At least one person died due to the Missouri police storms, several damage reports in several states said. The houses were torn in Lake City, Arkansas, the trees were shredded and the cars turned.

In some parts of Tennessee, people were invited not to use the roads due to the amount of debris on them.

Wednesday evening, a rare urgency of tornado was declared around Blytheville, Arkansas, after the debris was launched at least 25,000 feet in the air.

“It will certainly be a really horrible situation here, sunrise in the morning in these regions, coming out of the Arkansas,” said Chelly Amin, a meteorologist of the National Weather Service, to the Associated Press.

In Indiana, the winds have reached 81 MPH and caused generalized power outages. The debris caused by damage covered the roads of the state and the schools were closed.

While the United States South and Midwest has long faced the prospect of such storms, the severity of these events is amplified by the climate crisis, scientists said.

Tornades can move to different parts of the country, while hot climate contains more humidity, leading to more intense showers.

The next few days are expected to bring serious sudden floods in several states, with more than one possible rain. There will be “significant and potentially fatal floods” until Saturday, warned the National Weather Service. “Totals and historical impacts of precipitation are possible.”

Imminent floods are likely to cause other damage and increase the number of deaths. A man managed an unusual escape, however, after a tornado destroyed his house in Selmer, Tennessee.

Matt Vandevander jumped in his bathtub to shelter from the storm, but that snatched him from his house and threw him into the courtyard of his neighbors. In one way or another, Vandevander survived with only a few scratches.

“It’s a miracle,” he told WMC, a subsidiary of CNN. “I am very happy – happier than I should probably be.”
