More than 15 million people from Texas to Florida are under threat of severe storms and the potential for more tornadoes. Many of those areas being threatened Monday were previously hit during one of the most active periods for twisters on record.

Caution tape blocks the path to Florida State University’s Flying Circus bleachers that were damaged when the tent above them collapsed during strong weather in Tallahassee, Friday, May 10, 2024. Powerful storms bringing the threat of tornadoes continued to slam several southern states early Friday, as residents cleared debris from deadly severe weather that produced twisters in Michigan, Tennessee and other states. Some of the strongest storms early Friday rolled into Tallahassee.

Monday’s storms come shortly after one of the most active periods of severe weather in U.S. history, from April 25 through May 10, the National Weather Service said in a recent report. At least 267 tornadoes were confirmed by the weather service during that time, the agency said. Among the many tornadoes: a pair of twisters that caused heavy damage Friday in Florida’s capital, Tallahassee. As the two tornadoes crossed the city from east to west, they damaged homes and businesses, caused a construction crane to collapse, and severely damaged the outfield fence at a baseball stadium at Florida State University, the weather service said.
