Midwest Storms Leave Destruction and Danger | San Antonio News

Tornadoes and flash floods tore through the Midwest this week, leaving devastation in their wake—over 700,000 power outages across Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. A four-year-old boy died when a tree crashed into his home in Indiana, while in Ohio, a resident was stranded by floodwaters and officials investigate a possible house explosion linked to the storms. Emergency crews conducted water rescues, the National Guard was deployed, and Chicago flights were grounded. Wind gusts hit 99 mph in Gary, Indiana, with forecasters warning this could be a derecho—a major straight-line wind event—and severe weather is expected to linger for days across the Midwest and Ohio Valley.
