Wildfires and Storms Wreak Havoc in the U.S.
Deadly fires and powerful storms cause destruction across multiple states.
Once again, the U.S. is facing destruction due to massive fires. A powerful storm has struck Central America, igniting over 100 wildfires in Missouri and Arkansas. Additionally, major accidents and severe losses have left people in distress.
According to media reports, dangerous conditions caused by the storm have resulted in fatalities in Texas. In Oklahoma, nearly 150 wildfires have been reported, along with strong winds causing vehicle accidents, including overturned tractor-trailers. The situation in the U.S. remains critical, with tornadoes also expected on Saturday.
A truck driver described the terrifying conditions, stating, “The air is filled with sand and dust. I’m driving at no more than 55 mph because I fear the wind could flip my truck.”
Governors of Alabama, Kansas, and Missouri have declared emergencies due to severe weather and fire risks. On Friday, winds exceeding 80 mph swept through the Southern Plains, causing a dust storm in Texas that led to car crashes, killing at least three people. Fierce winds and dust storms knocked down trucks, trees, and power lines, resulting in widespread power outages.
The situation remains unstable. As of Saturday morning, reports of tornadoes, hailstorms, and strong winds continued across the Midwest and Mississippi Valley. With the threat of tornadoes persisting into Saturday night, residents remain on high alert.
