Powerful storms sweep across parts of the US Midwest, killing three people and leaving more than 800,000 residents without power in four states. Winds gust above 80 mph (130 km/h), with trees and power lines brought down by the storms.
The reported impact includes severe weather conditions such as flooding and tornadoes, affecting areas across Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky. In Indiana, a four-year-old dies after a tree falls on a home, and another death is linked to a suspected weather-related house explosion in Portage, according to one account. Both outlets describe the scale of outages as the storms move through the region.
While both sources focus on deaths, high winds and widespread power loss, coverage also varies in how specific incidents are described. One outlet provides additional local detail about the fatalities, whereas the other summarises the broader effects of the storms and the overall outage figure.
