According to reports from the US on April 17, after several days of tornadoes and flooding in the central region, a new round of severe convective weather is hitting the country this weekend, with more than 35 million people facing the threat of powerful storms. On April 17 alone, multiple states were struck by tornadoes.
As of the evening of April 17 local time, at least five states had reported more than 10 tornado strikes. Tornado warnings were issued in parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri.
Reports indicate that the city of Rochester in Minnesota and its surrounding areas were hit by a tornado, damaging multiple homes. At a farm southwest of Rochester, a video captured the tornado approaching. A tornado also struck a village in Stephenson County in northwestern Illinois, knocking down numerous power poles and tearing off roofs, while uprooting trees. The county sheriff's office stated that the village suffered "widespread damage," but fortunately, no casualties were reported.
It is noted that prior to the severe weather on April 17, many parts of the US had already experienced tornadoes and flooding, with many areas still cleaning up the damage caused by those earlier disasters.
