By Jason Samenow Jason Samenow Editor and writer covering weather and climate Email Bio Follow May 21 at 2:54 PM An unusually powerful spring storm dispersed a wide range of extreme weather Monday into early Tuesday, and it has not finished its assault as it barrels northeast into the Midwest.
Flash flooding proved to be more of a widespread hazard than the tornadoes.
