Illinois Sets Record with 213 Tornadoes in 2026

Illinois Sets Record with 213 Tornadoes in 2026

Illinois has experienced a record-breaking year for tornadoes in 2026, with 213 confirmed touchdowns so far, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Lincoln, Illinois. This figure surpasses the previous record of 142 tornadoes set just two years ago. Meteorologists attribute the increase to an active storm track and a series of significant severe weather outbreaks. While Tornado Alley—traditionally encompassing Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas—still sees the highest concentration of tornadoes, activity has been declining there since the late 1970s. Meanwhile, states like Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa have seen a rise in tornado occurrences. Experts suggest that Illinois' unique geography and seasonal jet stream patterns make it particularly susceptible to tornado formation.

Sedgwick County Board of Canvassers Approves 4,300 Provisional Ballots for Counting in 2026 Midterm Election

Sedgwick County Board of Canvassers Approves 4,300 Provisional Ballots for Counting in 2026 Midterm Election

The Sedgwick County Board of Canvassers in Wichita, Kansas, has approved approximately 4,300 provisional ballots for counting following the 2026 midterm election. This decision comes after voters cast over 5,800 provisional ballots. Provisional ballots are utilized when a voter's identity or eligibility cannot be immediately confirmed at the polling place. Sedgwick County Election Commissioner Laura Rainwater emphasized the policy of allowing voters to cast provisional ballots rather than turning them away, stating, “The number one rule on election day is never turn a voter away. They can always vote provisionally.” The board's action permits the election office to tally these ballots, which will then be re-presented to the board on Monday for final certification. County Commissioner Ryan Baty highlighted the significant role Sedgwick County's votes play in statewide election outcomes, noting its status as the second-largest county in Kansas.
