Meet the Twisty Giants!

Get ready for some super-duper wind! In May 2025, a bunch of tornadoes, like giant spinning tops, danced across parts of America. Some were small, but others were HUGE and really strong, like a giant playground slide turned upside down! They spun so fast, they could pick up cars and even houses!

Where Did They Come From?

These big winds didn't just pop out of nowhere! They happened when warm, moist air met cool, dry air. Think of it like a big, messy weather party! The sky got grumpy, and these powerful twisters decided to join the fun, especially in places like Kentucky and Missouri.

WOW! So Many Twisters!

Guess what? There were 60 tornadoes in just two days! That's like having a whole classroom of tornadoes all at once! Some were so strong, they were rated EF3 and EF4, which is like being a super-villain in a tornado movie. One in Kentucky was the deadliest in years!

Why We Remember Them

These tornadoes were super strong and caused a lot of messes. They made people sad because they hurt some people and broke buildings. It's important to learn about them so we can be safe when the weather gets wild. They remind us how powerful our planet can be!
