"Hagel-Bomben" und erneut Tornados

Die Tornado-Saison in den USA ist in vollem Gange. Warme Luft aus Süden trifft aktuell auf Kaltluft aus Kanada - eine gefährliche Konstellation. Entlang der Luftmassengrenze entstehen immer wieder Unwetter mit schweren Gewittern, heftigen Regenfällen und zum Teil Softball großen Hagelkörnern.
