Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes pose a significant threat to the Midwestern United States, particularly from northwestern Oklahoma to western Missouri. The National Weather Service (NWS) has warned that these storms could produce large hail, reaching sizes comparable to baseballs, and fall at speeds up to 107 mph (approximately 172 km/h). Currently, about 26 million residents are under tornado watches stretching from Wisconsin to Oklahoma. A particularly dangerous situation has been noted for tornadoes in Illinois and Wisconsin. The aftermath of the storms has already resulted in significant damage, including blown-out windows and caved-in garage doors in Stewartville, Minnesota. In Wisconsin, flash flooding has caused severe disruptions, with a state of emergency declared by Governor Tony Evers to mobilize emergency services. Residents are advised to remain indoors and away from windows during these severe weather events.
