"More than 700,000 Americans were without power on Sunday evening, and about 6
million across the US were at risk for extreme weather, according to CNN.
The outages were concentrated in the south-eastern US, where there were severe
thunderstorms in the Ohio valley as well as Arkansas, Tennessee and
Mississippi. There was a suspected tornado in Bargersville, Indiana, just south
of Indianapolis.
There were also reports of large hail in northern Kentucky and southern
Indiana.
At least half of the US population has faced an extreme weather alert since 1
May, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), which has been
tracking the alerts sent by the National Weather Service. About one in 10 of
the alerts have a clear signal linking them to the climate crisis, Juan
Declet-Barreto, a senior social scientist for climate vulnerability at UCS,
told the
Guardian earlier this month. Scientists have established a clear
link between the climate crisis and extreme weather events."
