Tornadoes have struck the Midwestern region of the United States, causing damage to homes and buildings and several injuries. Although tornadoes are common in some parts of the United States, recent events may have been influenced by climate change, according to some analyses.

According to DPA and other sources, dozens of tornadoes struck the Midwest, including Iowa and Nebraska, on the 25th (local time).

In Pottawattamie County, Iowa, at least four people were injured, and approximately 120 buildings were damaged.

A state of disaster has been declared in Pottawattamie County.

Local authorities stated, “There have been several gas leaks, power lines have been cut, and many building fragments have fallen. Pottawattamie is currently a hazardous area.”

In Waverly and Lincoln, Nebraska, at least three people were injured, and several buildings were destroyed.

In Waverly, a train derailment was reported, but the exact extent of the damage has not yet been reported.

In Omaha, Nebraska’s largest city, two people were injured, and hundreds of homes were damaged.

Eppley Airport in Omaha was temporarily closed due to the tornadoes.

The airport evacuated passengers to shelters, and no casualties were reported. Some buildings within the airport grounds were damaged.

Authorities reported severe damage to several homes in Elkhorn and Bennington, located in Douglas County, Nebraska.

The National Weather Service forecasted that several tornadoes, hail, and strong winds could continue until the 26th.

The tornadoes were expected to spread to Texas and Michigan.

In Texas, over 30,000 power outages have been reported.

Cities like Oklahoma City, Kansas City, and Dallas could experience baseball-sized hail and strong winds.
