Unfortunately, it has been a bad season for tornados, and only more to come. Here will be updates for everyone on where the warnings are, along where tornados have hit and have done damage.
DENNING, Ark., May 25 (UPI) -- The U.S. midsection was on high alert Wednesday for more destructive weather as the death toll mounted from tornadoes that struck the Plains this week.
More than 130 people have died since Sunday night from twisters that demolished parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma.
Accuweather.com predicted parts of Illinois and Indiana were at the highest risk Wednesday with storms extending from Arkansas to northern Mississippi.

At least one tornado touched down in Sedalia this afternoon, causing heavy damage in some parts of the city.
The tornado hit after 12:20 p.m., leveling buildings and leaving semi-tractor trailers on their side.
The only injury initially reported, according to the Sedalia Democrat, was a man hurt when he was hit by a falling tree while trying to head to cover.

A tornado watch has been put in place in all of Central Indiana including Madison, Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock and Henry counties until 7 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.
The watch means conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms producing tornadoes in and close to the watch area in the warning period, according to the NWS, reports Reuters.
The agency has also said there is a moderate risk for severe storms across the area today and tonight with the best chances of that happening during the afternoon and evening hour.
