Tornadoes Rampage

Locations of high winds/wind damage (blue triple-arrow symbols), tornadoes (red tornado symbols) and large hail (white circles) from the evening of June 21 through June 23. According to the Storm Prediction Center, using a method to filter out redundant reports of the same event, there were roughly 800 reports of severe weather over that time period in the U.S. The majority of these were associated with the Midwest derecho, tornadoes, and Northeast severe storms, though a number of pulse severe thunderstorms with bursts of high winds also occurred in the Southeast U.S. during that time.  (Storm Prediction Center, Google Earth)









"True to June's form, a 48-hour period from Sunday night through Tuesday night spawned tornadoes, a derecho in the Plains and Upper Midwest and a  squall line in the Northeast that knocked out power to hundreds of thousands."
