From March 13 to 16, a widespread and deadly tornado outbreak ravaged the Midwest and the East Coast. Powerful storms created more than 110 tornadoes, primarily affecting states like Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee. Seven people were killed during this storm, and more were injured, demonstrating the wrath nature it can cause.

The storms were formed from the moisture that originated from the Gulf of Mexico and was mixed with the cooler air from the north, which created the perfect conditions for tornadoes to occur. The damage that was produced was the uprooting of trees, downed power lines, and damaged homes. People were left without electricity as workers were overwhelmed with the amount of work that they had to do.

Missouri and Arkansas had the most damage as they had EF2 and EF3 tornadoes, which can cause damage to many different structures. Many businesses and schools were forced to close down, and people started cleaning up debris and providing essential services. This demonstrates how susceptible some communities are to the intensity of natural disasters. With climate patterns shifting, natural disasters and extreme weather events are more likely to occur; therefore, people should promote awareness and minimize the impact of future storms.
