"High winds and tornadoes ripped off roofs, knocked down trees and power lines and led to hazardous travel conditions in parts of the Plains and upper Midwest Tuesday.
Gusts up to 100 mph were reported in some areas, as well as hail and severe storms.
The weather prompted high wind warnings across a vast swath of the country from New Mexico to Michigan, including about one in 10 U.S. residents and some 20% of the land area of the Lower 48 states, according to weather.com senior meteorologist Jonathan Erdman."
