Wreckage Across the Heartland: Over 40 Lives Lost, Over 80 Tornadoes Sweep Through USA - Buses Lifted like Toys in the Wind
Intense Tornado Outbreak Wreaks Havoc in US - School Buses Lifted in Air by Twisters - Whirlwind chaos: Over 80 tornadoes sweep across the United States, sending school buses airborne
Let's cut the crap, y'all. The bodysnatchers have climbed to at least 40 in the recent chaos that struck the south and central regions of good ol' USA, as per media reports. It's Missouri, in particular, that's burying its people this week – a grim total of 12 souls lost, and even more getting their bones broken due to those godforsaken tornadoes and storms.
The stormy weather first reared its ugly head on Friday. You won't believe this, but around 80 of those twisters were spotted in no less than eight states, y'all – Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Illinois, Tennessee, Alabama, and Indiana. Name a better duo than the Midwest and tornadoes, I'll wait. Germany's Weather Service, on the other hand, reckons they get about 45 tornadoes annually. So yep, it's safe to say these storms were some grade-A, top-tier freaks.
Now, tornadoes roll in when there's a massive difference in temperature and often hang out near thunderstorms. They're like clouds taking a scary, funnel-shaped dip, extending from the thunderhead to the ground.

I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of why the number of tornadoes in the recent stormy symphony across the Heartland was significantly higher than average, with at least 80 confirmed twisters sweeping through the USA, particularly in Missouri. Remarkably, according to Germany's Weather Service, they usually experience about 45 tornadoes per year. Indeed, these storms were a unique and devastating event, similar to a tornado alley erupting over the weekend.
