The International Code Council is coordinating with its federal, state, and local partners to help following the devastating tornadoes that swept across Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee this past weekend. The Code Council extends its deepest sympathies to all those affected, particularly those who lost loved ones during these tragic events.
To our affected members, we are committed to supporting you in any way possible during your time of need, including coordinating resources for post-disaster building safety assessments, supplemental staffing, or other needs as they arise.
Strong storms with damaging winds and baseball-sized hail pummeled Texas on Tuesday, leaving more than one million businesses and homes without power as much of the U.S. recovered from severe weather, including tornadoes that killed at least 24 people in seven states during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Voters in the state's runoff elections found some polling places without power Tuesday. Roughly 100 voting sites in Dallas County were knocked offline. Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins declared a disaster area and noted that some nursing homes were using generators. "This ultimately will be a multi-day power outage situation," Jenkins said Tuesday.
Heavy thunderstorms also were plowing toward Houston, where officials warned that winds as strong as 70 mph could cause damage less than two weeks after hurricane-force winds knocked out power to more than 800,000 homes and businesses.
Seven people, including two young children, were killed in Cooke County, Texas, from a tornado that tore through a mobile home park Saturday, officials said, and seven deaths were reported across Arkansas.
Two people died in Mayes County, Oklahoma, east of Tulsa, authorities said. The injured included guests at an outdoor wedding. A Missouri man died Sunday in Sikeston after a tree limb fell onto his tent as he was camping.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said five people had died in his state during storms that struck close to where a devastating swarm of twisters killed 81 people in December 2021. One family lost their home for a second time on the same lot where a twister leveled their house less than three years ago.
In addition to the Memorial Day weekend death toll, in Magnolia, Texas, about 40 miles north of Houston, one person died Tuesday when a house under construction collapsed during a storm, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office reported.
Tornadoes in Iowa last week left at least five people dead and dozens injured. Storms killed eight people in Houston earlier this month. April had the second-highest number of tornadoes on record in the country. The storms come as climate change contributes in general to the severity of storms around the world.
Late May is the peak of tornado season, but the recent storms have been exceptionally violent, producing very strong tornadoes, said Victor Gensini, a meteorology professor at Northern Illinois University.
"Over the weekend, we've had a lot of hot and humid air, a lot of gasoline, a lot of fuel for these storms. And we've had a really strong jet stream as well. That jet stream has been aiding in providing the wind shear necessary for these types of tornadoes," Gensini said.
Harold Brooks, a senior scientist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma, said a persistent pattern of warm, moist air is to blame for the string of tornadoes over the past two months.
These shootings occurred as communities commemorated National Gun Violence Awareness Day through Wear Oranges events across the nation over the weekend. These shootings also come after Texas adjourned the 2023 legislative session where, amidst several mass shootings across the state, Texas lawmakers passed a bill that will arm more teachers and failed to take any meaningful action on life-saving gun safety bills.
In an average year, 3,996 people die by guns in Texas, and 5,556 more are wounded. Guns are the leading cause of death among children and teens in Texas. More information on gun violence in Texas is available here.

It has quickly become the deadliest drug in the nation, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. Two-thirds of the 107,000 overdose deaths in 2021 were attributed to synthetic opioids like fentanyl, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
That year, fentanyl also contributed to a record number of homeless deaths in Portland. Compared with 2020, the number of homeless deaths involving fentanyl jumped more than eightfold, from four to 36, according to a Multnomah County report released in February.
Statewide, the number of fatal and unintentional overdoses involving fentanyl more than doubled from 2020 to 2021, from 226 deaths to 508, according to the Oregon Health Authority. Fentanyl and methamphetamine were the most common drugs in overdose deaths in 2021, the agency found.

Between March 22 and March 25, there were at least four traffic-related crashes in Manatee and Sarasota counties with multiple fatalities and injuries, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The crashes, three in Manatee County and one in Sarasota County, appeared to be a part of a trend of fatal traffic crashes in the region during the four days.
Troopers were also investigating two separate hit-and-runs in Collier and Highlands counties that killed two bicyclists. Media reports indicate there were three other vehicle crashes in Pasco, Polk and Hillsborough counties during the same weekend that led to more deaths, including a hit-and-run incident that killed an Alabama man visiting family.
One local defense attorney thinks the increase could be because of a shortage of troopers on Florida state roads and interstates, spreading troops thin as they react to crashes rather than proactive measures. It's also possible a lack of attentiveness from drivers behind the wheel could be a factor.
In 2023, the recorded number of total crashes in Sarasota County was 6,820 with 58 fatalities and 4,026 injuries. The year before that, Sarasota County had 7,067 crashes with the same number of fatalities and slightly more injuries.
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office had deputies assist with one of the fatal car crashes on March 24 when a single pickup truck overcorrected and hit a guardrail before ejecting both occupants, killing a Sarasota man and injuring the 49-year-old driver.
SCSO spokesperson Dana Judge said in an emailed response to the Herald-Tribune that the Sheriff's Office can't comment about the possible "spike" of crashes that occurred recently as they don't have the data yet.
"There are certainly a lot of vehicles on our roadways this time of year with peak tourist season, so that could potentially be connected," Judge said in the email. "Still, without the data, we cannot say anything for sure."
Florida Highway Patrol troopers and Sarasota County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to a crash scene on Fruitville Road at Springbrook Farm Road in Sarasota County on March 24, according to a SCSO news release.
The crash occurred around 7:20 p.m. when a pickup truck, driving east on Fruitville Road, drove off the roadway and overcorrected to the left. The truck drove back across the roadway, colliding with the guardrail before overturning onto the north shoulder, according to an FHP release.
Both the driver, a 49-year-old Myakka woman, and the passenger, a 53-year-old Sarasota man, were ejected from the truck due to not wearing seatbelts. The 53-year-old man was transported to an area hospital where he died due to critical injuries, according to the news release.
Earlier morning on March 24 at around 1:52 a.m., troopers were called to a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 75 that left one man dead, and a 23-year-old woman critically injured after a 32-year-old man from Wimauma drove the wrong way on the Interstate.
Around 12:35 a.m., troopers responded to a single-vehicle crash in Palmetto after a sport utility vehicle collided with a utility pole near I-75 after the truck didn't quite make a curve. The driver, whose identity has not been released pending notification of next of kin, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Troopers are also investigating a hit-and-run in Manatee County that occurred at night on March 22 on State Road 70 near Caruso Road that killed a 28-year-old bicyclist who was crossing within the pedestrian crosswalk and was thrown from his bike due to the impact.
After the collision, the driver of the red sedan fled the scene, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. The bicyclist sustained serious injuries and was transported to Blake Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
One local defense attorney, who has been practicing in the area for 20 years, raised concerns about road safety due to law enforcement being thinly stretched across the state from having troopers reassigned to different areas within and outside of Florida.
David Haenel, an attorney at The Law Place, said that if law enforcement is stretched thin, there's no proactive enforcement but more reactive measures. He added that troopers are being pulled in a million different directions trying to keep roadways safe.
"What you have is a rise in population since COVID, you have more people moving here, and you have less ability for proactive enforcement because you have fewer troopers available, so this is the effect that we're seeing at least in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit, which is Manatee, Sarasota, and DeSoto counties," Haenel said.
