At least 27 people were killed when powerful tornadoes tore through Kentucky and Missouri on the night of May 16. The hardest-hit areas, including London and Somerset in Kentucky, saw entire neighborhoods flattened, vehicles tossed, and hundreds of homes destroyed.

While the exact cause of this tornado outbreak is still under investigation, scientists warn that the climate crisis is making severe weather events like these more frequent and intense — likely contributing to the conditions that fueled this deadly storm system.
