15 doden door stormen en tornado's in midden VS

In het midden van de Verenigde Staten zijn zeker 15 mensen omgekomen door meerdere stormen en tornado's. Ook raakten honderden mensen gewond en zitten bijna een half miljoen mensen zonder stroom.

Vooral in de staten Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky en Texas is de ravage groot. Daar zijn veel huizen volledig verwoest en wegen onbegaanbaar door omgewaaide bomen.

Weekend vrij
Veel Amerikanen hebben een lang weekend vrij en waren tijdens de stormen onderweg. Verschillende stopplaatsen langs de snelweg, waar mensen schuilden voor het weer, werden volledig verwoest. Deskundigen schatten dat de wind snelheden bereikte van ruim boven de 200 kilometer per uur.

Volgens meteorologen trekken de stormen nu naar het oosten van het land, in de richting van Alabama en tot aan New York. De autoriteiten roepen bewoners op om voorzorgsmaatregelen te nemen. Tientallen miljoenen mensen zullen met het noodweer te maken krijgen.

Het midden van de VS heeft deze maand meermaals zware stormen en tornado's te verduren gekregen. Vorige week kwamen er onder meer vijf mensen om in Iowa door een krachtige tornado. April kende het hoogste aantal tornado's ooit in de VS.

Record-breaking tornado damage length for May 26 storms

The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Paducah, Kentucky announced on June 5 that storms on May 26, 2024, produced 16 tornadoes in their forecast area, resulting in a record-breaking 410 km (255 miles) of tornado damage.

During the month of May, there were two historic severe weather events in the NWS Paducah forecast area — on May 8 and 26.
The May 8 event shattered the previous single-day record for most warning issuances by the Paducah office.
A total of 16 tornadoes were observed in the NWS Paducah forecast area on May 26, resulting in a record-breaking 410 km (250 miles) of tornado damage.
The May 26 severe weather event also had the second-highest single-day warning issuance count in office history.
The NWS office in Paducah is responsible for monitoring weather conditions across 58 counties in parts of Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. This extensive coverage includes major cities like Evansville, Hopkinsville, Owensboro, Carbondale, Cape Girardeau, and Paducah​.

There were two historic severe weather events that impacted the region under their watch in May 2024.

The first occurred on May 8 when several rounds of storms occurred throughout a nearly 24-hour period beginning late evening on May 7. The most widespread damage occurred during the afternoon and evening of May 8 as multiple bowing segments and several supercells occurred.

9 tornadoes touched down while training storms resulted in flash flooding with rainfall totals of 50 to 100 mm (2 – 4 inches) in many areas, locally up to 127 – 152 mm (5 – 6 inches).

This event resulted in the single-day record for most warning issuances (Severe Thunderstorm Warning, Tornado Warning, and Flash Flood Warning) by the Paducah office of 117, shattering the old record of 71.

The second severe weather event occurred on May 26 when multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms occurred. The first was a bowing line crossing Southeast Missouri into Western Kentucky and far Southern Illinois from 05:00 to 10:00 LT, producing a wide swath of wind damage and several tornadoes.

Supercells formed near sunset producing several more tornadoes while a line of storms moved across the Quad State from 07:00 to 11:00 LT, bringing a second round of widespread wind.

At least 100 000 customers were without power across the Quad State region at the peak of this event. Flash flooding occurred with the morning and evening rounds of storms.

In their May 2024 Climate Summary, the office reported a preliminary number of 14 tornadoes, including 3 EF-3s. The May 26 event also had the second-highest single-day warning issuance count in office history, only behind the May 8 record.

However, on June 5, the office announced the number of tornadoes produced on May 26 rose to 16 — resulting in an ‘astounding’ 410 km (255 miles) of tornado damage.

This now marks a record-shattering length of tornado damage in their forecast area.

The previous record was 260 km (162 miles) of damage set on February 29, 2012.

The table below contains all events with 160+ km (100+ miles) of tornado damage, without mileage for parts of tornadoes that began or ended outside of any of the counties under their watch.

Tropical Storm Debby may produce a few tornadoes over parts of

as it intensifies. Scattered thunderstorms may produce damaging
wind gusts across parts of Montana this evening.

Chopper 5 gets aerial view of tornado damage in Avenir community of Palm Beach Gardens

Rare EF-3 tornado hits Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

A rare EF-3 tornado tore through the Avenir community in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida on October 9, 2024, as Hurricane “Milton” unleashed a tornado outbreak across Florida.
A powerful EF-3 tornado tore through Palm Beach Gardens on October 9, ripping off roofs and causing widespread damage. With winds of 225 km/h (140 mph), the tornado lifted a construction dumpster into the air and tossed it on top of a home in Regency Community at Avenir.

“I’ve never surveyed a tornado with this much damage and severity. EF-3 tornadoes are very rare in South Florida,” said NWS Meteorologist Robert Molleda. “It’s probably been many years since we’ve had an EF-3-rated tornado here in South Florida,” he added.

Several new homes in the Avenir community were damaged by the tornado which ripped off concrete block walls and large sections of the roofs from homes. People were seen putting tarpaulin over their damaged roofs once the storm had passed.

The tornado had a long track with its starting and end locations still unknown. The EF-3 rating of the tornado is still preliminary as it is based on just one neighborhood of Palm Beach Gardens which was among the hardest hit. A multi-day survey is needed to assign a final rating.

The tornado was part of a larger tornado outbreak triggered by Hurricane Milton, which made landfall near Siesta Key as a Category 3 hurricane at around 20:30 local time on October 9.

At least 4 dead as severe weather outbreak wreaks havoc across Southeast U.S.

A severe weather outbreak wreaked havoc across the southeastern United States over the weekend, leaving at least four people dead, causing widespread destruction, and cutting power to thousands of homes and businesses on Sunday, December 29, 2024.

At least four people have been reported dead after a severe weather outbreak accompanied by strong winds and tornadoes ravaged the southeastern United States, leaving hundreds of thousands without power on Sunday and grounding some 600 flights.

Several tornadoes, ranging from EF-0 to EF-3, were reported across Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and other parts of the Southeast, starting Friday, December 27.

The tornadoes caused widespread damage across the affected regions, blowing off roofs, flipping vehicles, and downing trees and powerlines throughout the Southeast. Several trailer homes were overturned in Mississippi.

On Saturday, December 28, the NWS Storm Prediction Center received 45 tornado reports from the Southeast, with 19 of them occurring in Mississippi.

NWS Weather Prediction Center meteorologist Frank Pereira said that severe weather outbreaks of this magnitude so late in the year are fairly uncommon, but not unheard of.

A deadly EF-2 tornado between Liverpool and Hillcrest Village around 12:57 local time (LT) with peak winds of around 201 km/h (125 mph).

The twister had a maximum path width of 275 m (300 yards) and was on the ground for 14.1 km (8.78 miles), destroying multiple homes between Alvin and Liverpool and leaving substantial debris on parts of SH 35.

1 death and 5 injuries have been reported so far with this tornado.

Storm survey shows it tracked along Co Road 172 in rural Brazoria County into Hillcrest. EF-0 and EF-1 damage was observed along most of the tornado’s track. The most significant damage was surveyed at Walt Disney Elementary School, which suffered serious damage to the majority of its roof structure.

An EF-3 tornado was reported near Porter Heights, Texas at 12:05 LT, with a path length of over 16 km (10 miles) and peak winds reaching 225 km/h (140 mph).

The tornado had a maximum width of 1 500 m (1 675 yards) and was on the ground for 16.6 km (10.34 miles). The majority of its track showed high-end EF-1 and low-end EF-2 damage, with just one spot of EF-3 near the start.

A long-track EF-3 tornado struck Chambers County, Texas at 14:35 LT, injuring one person and covering a path length of around 35 km (22 miles), with peak winds of 222 km/h (138 mph).

Één enorm gelukje is dat er van de week al een flink front is geweest die de instabiliteit heeft weggeblazen. Als dat er ook nog bovenop was gekomen, hadden we aan de vooravond van een historische uitbraak gestaan.
