Destructive tornadoes hit Kansas with days of dangerous severe storms to come across the central US [View all]

A week of severe storm threats across the central US started with a bang Monday, with multiple tornadoes demolishing buildings in Kansas, heavy rain stranding vehicles on flooded streets in Wisconsin and baseball-sized hail battering parts of three states.

And Tuesday has the potential to be be just as dangerous.

Tens of millions of people from the Texas-Mexico border to the Great Lakes are at risk of severe storms Tuesday, including in Chicago, Milwaukee, Des Moines, Iowa, and Oklahoma City, where there’s a Level 3 of 5 threat for large to giant hail, damaging wind gusts and tornadoes.

Dangerous flooding is also a concern, especially where rivers are already running high in water-logged northern Michigan and northern Wisconsin.
