Tornadoes Strike Multiple US States, Midwest Death Toll Rises

News summary

Tornadoes can occur nearly anywhere given the right conditions, dispelling dangerous myths that certain areas or cities are immune due to local geography or structures. Major cities such as Atlanta, Brooklyn, and Washington, D.C., have experienced tornadoes, sometimes causing significant damage and posing serious risks to residents. Historical data from North Dakota highlights the deadly impact tornadoes have had over the decades, including a devastating F-5 tornado in Fargo in 1957 and recent deadly events in 2025. In Minnesota and the broader U.S. heartland, unusual weather patterns this year have included tornadoes, heavy rains, and damaging winds, contributing to public concern and misinformation. Claims linking tornado outbreaks to roundabouts are unfounded, as tornadoes are spawned by supercell thunderstorms and not influenced by man-made traffic features. Texas holds the record for the most tornadoes annually in the U.S., averaging 120 tornadoes each year, underscoring the country’s status as a global tornado hotspot.
