Residents grapple with destruction after tornadoes hit Illinois, Indiana

Residents in tornado-ravaged areas in Illinois and Indiana are grappling with damage to their homes and neighborhoods after a strong line of storms barreled through communities south of Chicago. Cleanup efforts were underway Friday and officials were assessing the damage. Dozens of buildings were damaged and scores of trees and power lines were downed. Several hundred thousand customers are without power and dozens of flights at Chicago airports have been canceled or delayed. There were no reports of any deaths from Thursday's storms, although several people were treated for minor injuries. Tornado damage was reported in Merrillville and Hebron, Indiana, as well as in Streator, Illinois.

El Nino is here and scientists fear it'll be big, bad and costly with heat, floods, droughts, fires

Experts said the #ElNiño, a natural warming cycle, should further heat a globe already warming from #FossilFuel pollution and will likely turbocharge #ExtremeWeather across the planet. Meteorologists forecast it will rival—or exceed—a record El Niño that began in 1997 and helped trigger billions of dollars in damage from #HeatWaves, #floods, #droughts, #tornadoes and #wildfires.

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officially confirmed the existence of the El Niño, which is a warming of the #Pacific near the equator that affects weather patterns across the globe. #NOAA's announcement said there's a 63% chance that the El Niño will get so intense this late fall and early winter that it "would rank among the largest El Niño events in the historical record going back to 1950."
