Tornadoes Kill 3 in the Midwest, Plains as Storm Threat Shifts East

The Storm Prediction Center logged nearly three dozen tornado reports as supercell storms killed at least two people and damaged 20 homes.

  • On Sunday, a regional tornado outbreak across the Midwest killed two people in rural Jefferson County, Illinois, according to Sheriff Jeff Bullard, as nearly three dozen tornado reports were logged by the Storm Prediction Center.
  • Heat and humidity returned Sunday afternoon, causing thunderstorms to evolve into rotating supercells capable of producing tornadoes, just four days after the previous storm system leveled buildings across the region.
  • Gibson County Sheriff Bruce Vanoven said several homes were "completely obliterated" in Gibson County, Indiana; in Newburgh, two roofs collapsed at the Park Place Apartments, injuring three people.
  • Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator Keith Hertenstein reported at least 20 homes damaged in the county, while downed trees and power lines left residents without electricity as crews worked active scenes.
  • The storm system moves into the Atlantic and Appalachian regions Monday, bringing a Level 2 of 5 risk of severe thunderstorms, while a Level 3 of 4 flood risk threatens the Ohio Valley.
