“A surge of tornados tore across a large swath of the country in April”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided is contradictory or narrow. One source mentions four tornadoes in Minnesota in April 2026, while another source explicitly states April 2026 was an overall dry month for the Southeast with no tornado warnings in Georgia. There is no evidence of a 'surge' across a 'large swath of the country'.
