Mother Nature isn’t holding back this week as violent storms barrel across the United States, leaving a trail of destruction from blizzards to tornadoes — and even fueling wildfires in Texas. Here’s what you need to know to stay ahead of the chaos. 🌀
Wild Weather Drama: The storms have already claimed three lives in Mississippi and ripped roofs off buildings in Oklahoma. Meanwhile, the Midwest is buried under heavy snow, and dry winds in Texas turned grasslands into tinderboxes, sparking wildfires. “It feels like a real-life disaster movie,” one local resident tweeted. 🎬
East Coast on Alert: Tornado warnings lit up the Carolinas, Florida, and Virginia on Wednesday. In North Carolina’s Unionville area, an EF1 tornado with winds up to 145 km/h caused structural damage and power outages. Luckily, no injuries were reported. ⚡
West Coast Prepares: As the East battles twisters, California braces for a Pacific storm set to dump rain and snow from Wednesday through Friday. Skiers, rejoice? Maybe — but drivers, stay vigilant! 🚗💨
