The tornadoes keep on coming. It’s May, but the past week has been a sizable one even by peak-season standards.
Regional tornado outbreaks took place across parts of the High Plains and southern Plains on Saturday, May 9. The numbers for that part of the event look to end up in the several dozen range. Even held back a tad by a morning round of storms that cut out the middle threat zone, it still ended up rather widespread.
Tornadoes picked back up early Sunday in South Dakota, and additional touchdowns occurred in Iowa as well as Texas and Oklahoma. The two day tally is now over 70 reports.
As videos trickle in with this system, we’ll update this post.
