Tornadoes Sweep the South

Recently, multiple tornadoes have been sweeping across the Southern States. A tornado is caused when warm air encounters cold air. The two fronts then form a tunnel known as a tornado. When hit with a tornado, it is also possible that it will be followed by severe thunderstorms. This has occurred in the South, and they are starting to deal with the aftermath. Trees have been left scattered, along with piles of rubble and leveled buildings. These disasters have cost millions of dollars in damage as well as costing people their lives. The storms have killed at least 300 people between six states as well as at least thirty six people in Tuscaloosa, Alabama alone. The road to recovery is going to be a long one for these devistated states.
