Hi everyone! 👋 Have you heard about the powerful storms that recently swept across the United States? 🌩️ Let’s dive in and learn more about what happened.
Over a weekend, a big storm system caused tornadoes, wildfires, and dust storms in many states across the South and Midwest of the U.S. 🇺🇸
Sadly, at least 42 people lost their lives due to these dangerous weather events. 😔
Tornadoes 🌪️ tore through states like Missouri and Mississippi, damaging homes and businesses. In Mississippi, two strong tornadoes struck the same county within an hour!
Wildfires 🔥 broke out in Oklahoma and Texas, damaging many homes and causing people to evacuate for safety.
In Kansas and Texas, dust storms blew up because of the strong winds, causing car accidents on highways. 🚗💨

Another storm may be coming soon, so people in some areas are getting ready again.
