Powerful Storms and Deadly Tornadoes roar through Central US, Midwest

Hey everyone,
I want to tell you about some really bad weather that happened recently. On the evening of March 13th, there was a big tornado in northeast Kansas near a town called Alta Vista. There were also some other tornadoes near Topeka, but luckily they didn't cause much damage, just knocked over some trees and outbuildings.
During the storms, there was a serious problem with hail. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration got over 150 reports of hail. In some places like Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, the hailstones were as big as baseballs or even grapefruits! In parts of southwest Kansas City, the hail was even bigger than baseballs, causing a big traffic jam on Interstate 70.
The next day, on March 14th, there were more tornadoes in Indiana and Ohio. At least 58 people were affected, and sadly, three people died because of a really strong tornado in Logan County, Ohio. The sheriff there said it was like a bomb had exploded, the damage was so bad.
In places like Indian Lake, Russells Point, and Lakeview, the tornadoes caused a lot of damage. Buildings were knocked down, roofs were torn off, and windows were smashed. In Winchester, Indiana, a tornado destroyed lots of homes. The State Police Superintendent called it a terrible event. Nearby in Selma, more than half of the buildings were damaged by the storm and tornado.
In Colorado, there was a big snowstorm that affected places like Denver and the ski resorts. The mayor of Denver said they hadn't seen anything like it in years. The snow caused problems for emergency services and made it hard to get around.
The National Weather Service said there was over 2 feet of snow in some places, and in the mountains, the snow was even deeper, maybe over 4 feet. To stay safe, they closed over 50 miles of Interstate 70. There were lots of accidents on the roads, and at Denver International Airport, more than 800 flights were canceled. Lots of people lost power too because of the snow damaging power lines.
It seems like these kinds of disasters are happening more often all across the United States. It's important to stay informed about what's going on and know how to keep yourself and your family safe.
