Midwest Tornado Surge Shocks Experts

Tornado season is exploding in the Midwest this year—Illinois alone has seen nearly 200 confirmed twisters, four times more than Oklahoma, which is now sitting at just 49.

Record heat in the region is fueling this surge, with April alone seeing nearly 290 tornadoes. An EF5—only the second in the U.S. since 2013—ravaged Indiana, leaving a 15-mile path of destruction.
