The United States has once again faced a series of devastating storms. The first wave struck the Great Plains on April 17, causing particularly severe damage in Nebraska and Iowa. In eastern Nebraska, winds exceeding 80 miles per hour lifted clouds of dust and debris into the air, covering the cities of Schuyler and York with a suffocating brown haze. Visibility rapidly deteriorated, making travel on the roads hazardous.
Ten tornadoes were recorded in Nebraska, and five in Iowa. One of them, which passed north of Omaha with wind speeds up to 140 MPH, was rated EF3. The National Weather Service described the event as "catastrophic" for a brief period. The storm left behind downed power lines, damaged homes, and mountains of debris.
The storm brought large hail. In Fremont, Nebraska, hailstones measuring two point seven five inches shattered building facades and windows, and damaged cars. Meanwhile, residents of Iowa witnessed hailstones up to 4 inches in size.
Hailstorms in April are not uncommon for the Plains, but this time the storm exceeded the usual bounds: such large hail had not been seen in the area for several years, and combined with hurricane-force winds, it caused significant destruction.
On April 19, the storm shifted south, bringing destruction and casualties with it. In Oklahoma, an EF-1 tornado destroyed homes in the town of Spaulding, killing one person and injuring two others. Another EF-1 tornado was recorded in the town of Ada, which is still recovering from a March tornado that left dozens of families homeless.
In Moore, flooding swept away a car, claiming the lives of a woman and a 12-year-old boy. In Leonard, a mother and her 7-year-old daughter also perished in the flood.
Strong storms also hit Missouri and Arkansas, regions that have already experienced several dangerous weather events this spring. The storm felled trees, destroyed homes, and power lines.
The storms are becoming more powerful, and their consequences are increasingly devastating. This is just one of the signs of the global changes happening on our planet, especially in its depths. One of the most serious threats is the activation of the Siberian magmatic plume, which, if left unaddressed, could lead to catastrophic consequences for the entire Earth.
Meanwhile, there are forces that are trying to conceal the truth about the true scale of this threat. Dr. Egon Cholakian warns: if we do not recognize the danger, there may come a point when it will be too late to fix the situation.
