There have been at least 21 confirmed tornadoes across Tennessee, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Nebraska states since Monday with the number expected to rise as additional surveys continue.
Tuesday alone had 20 reported tornadoes across five states -- Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and Arkansas -- with more surveys expected to take place later Thursday.
The exceedingly rare alert which first started being used by the National Weather Service in 1999 is issued only when there is catastrophic damage is imminent or ongoing, as is the threat to human life. On Thursday afternoon, a new batch of energy will kick off storms in mid-Missouri and St. Louis and there is a likelihood that Wednesday could be the third day of a multi-day tornado outbreak, the fourth such event in a just the span of a month.
