Midwest Storms and Northeast Heatwave

Severe storms tore through the Midwest this week, leaving devastation in their wake—hundreds of thousands without power, buildings flattened, and flights grounded. Tornadoes ripped across Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, and Illinois, with one tragic fatality in Des Moines when a man was struck by a falling tree. Families like those in Unionville, Missouri, now sift through rubble after their mobile home was obliterated, while an Illinois animal shelter narrowly avoided catastrophe despite major damage. As the storm system shifts east, it’s bringing not just lingering chaos but a dangerous heatwave to the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, with record-breaking temps and humidity. Cities like Philly and NYC are opening cooling centers, while major airports remain in turmoil with delays and cancellations. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
