Speaking of weather, check out video of a massive tornado that touched down in Minnesota on Wednesday.
Authorities say one person was killed and two others were hurt.
The National Weather Service believes it was at least an EF-3 with winds of 136 to 165 mph.
The reason this storm is significant is because it represents the 10th billion-dollar weather disaster to strike the United States this year.
The year 2020 is the sixth consecutive year with at least 10 extreme weather events, which is a record.
The 10 storms have tormented the US with tornadoes, damaging wind and hail.
Seven of the 10 storms occurred in the south or southeast including tornado outbreaks.
If you remember on Easter Sunday, 190 tornadoes tore through the region and killed 36 people.
However what worries meteorologists the most is the fact we haven’t even gotten to the hyperactive hurricane season on the East Coast or the wildfire season on the West Coast.
They are concerned the US might make disastrous history by seeing more severe storms this year than ever before.
