Over the Memorial Day holiday weekend, massive storms hit Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kentucky, and Virginia, causing extensive damage and killing at least 23 people.
On May 17 in Houston, Texas, a storm killed five people and left more than 600,000 without power.
Many people online have been questioning if the U.S. is being hit with some type of weather weapon, and with quotes like the one below floating around you can’t blame them for wondering!
