Millions under threat of strong tornadoes and violent winds as storm danger increases Friday

On Thursday, May 15, 2025, severe storms including tornadoes and high winds struck parts of the Midwest, especially Dodge County, Wisconsin, and the Chicago area.
The storms followed record heat that triggered an exceptionally volatile atmosphere, prompting severe weather warnings and concert delays in Chicago due to safety concerns.
Officials reported extensive destruction including fallen trees and power lines, with outages impacting close to 400,000 residences and commercial properties spread over five Midwest states, and at least one individual hospitalized due to injuries.
The Storm Prediction Center warned that Friday’s storms could produce strong, long-track tornadoes and hurricane-strength wind gusts in an "exceptionally volatile environment," threatening millions from Missouri to Kentucky.
Communities faced ongoing cleanup and power restoration, while the severe weather threat is expected to continue into the weekend across the central and eastern United States.
