Tornadoes in December are unusual, but not unheard of. But the ferocity and path length of Friday night’s tornadoes likely put them in a category of their own.

Warm weather was a crucial ingredient in this tornado outbreak, but whether climate change is a factor is not quite as clear, meteorologists say.

Rescuers continued to tally the loss of life after Friday’s deadly tornadoes across six states. The death toll at a Kentucky candle factory appeared to be less than originally feared.
