Destructive tornados demand dozens of life in the USA!
Numerous states in the last few days devastated tremendous tornados and storms in the south and middle west of the United States. At least 34 people lost their lives, including twelve in the state of Missouri. The destruction is devastating: houses and cars were razed to the ground, trees were uprooted and in many regions there were mass failures of electricity. According to krone.at hundreds of thousands of households suffer from power failures, while experts indicate an increasing danger from the continued weather phenomena.
further storms and disasters on the march
A storm front that started on Friday has now triggered more than 40 tornados in eight states, including Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Tragically, there was a devastating mass carambolage with 50 vehicles in Kansas, which cost at least eight people. The governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, estimated the duration of the damage disposal for months. In Oklahoma, hundreds of fires broke out under the pressure of the storms that affected an area of 170,000 hectares, which corresponds to the double size of Hamburg, such as merkur.de reported.
The prospects are still worrying. Meteorologists warn of other severe storms that could reach the east coast of the United States. The states of Alabama and Georgia in particular are the focus, where governor Brian Kemp has proclaimed the emergency. The population is urgently asked to prepare for the worst, while millions of Americans are on alert. Larger hailstones, some even in the size of golf balls, could be expected in the coming hours. The national weather service also warns of severe gusts of wind and the risk of tornados, which could further exacerbate the already critical situation.
