The 2011 Super Plague is the largest, most expensive, and one of the deadliest tornado plagues ever recorded, affecting the South, the Middle West, and the Northeastern United States and leaving a catastrophic destruction behind it. It affects the most severe Alabama and Mississippi, but also produces destructive tornadoes in Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia, and affects many other areas throughout the South and East of the United States. In total, 360 tornadoes were confirmed by the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) and the Canadian Government of Canadian Environment in 21 states from Texas to New York to southern Canada. Widespread and destructive tornadoes occur on every day of the outbreak, with 27 April being the most active day with a record 216 tornadoes touching the day from midnight to midnight CDT (0500-0500 UTC). Four tornadoes are damaging enough to be rated EF5, which is the highest possible rating on an Enhanced Fujita scale; usually this tornado is only recorded about once every year or less.
In total, 348 people died as a result of the outbreak, which included 324 tornado-related deaths in six states and 24 additional casualties caused by other storm-related events such as straight line winds, hail, flash floods or lightning. In Alabama alone, 238 tornado-related deaths were confirmed by the Hurricane Prediction Center (SPC) and the State Emergency Management Agency.
317 April 317 fatalities were the most tornado-related casualties in the United States in a single day since the Tri-State epidemic on March 18, 1925 (when at least 747 people were killed). Nearly 500 initial local storm reports were received for tornadoes over four days, including 292 in 16 countries on April 27 alone. This event is the most expensive tornado outbreak and one of the most expensive natural disasters in US history (even after adjustment for inflation), with a total loss of about $ 11 billion (2011 USD).

Sinopsis meteorologi
The outbreak was caused by a strong top trough that moved to Southern Plains countries on April 25. An extratropical cyclone develops in front of a top trough between northeast Oklahoma and west Missouri, which moves northeast. The conditions were similar on April 26, with possible likelihood of severe lightning storms, including the extended threat of strong long-term tornadoes to violence throughout the day and night; The CAPE value of the coating mixture is estimated to be about 3000-4000 J/kg, in the vicinity of eastern Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. The storm mode on April 26 is predicted to cover most discrete supercells during the day and evening, shifting to the mesoscale convection complex, with more of a threat of damaging wind and hail during night hours.
As the storm system moved east toward the Ohio Valley, Mississippi and Tennessee on April 27, a very powerful 80-100 knot intermediate jet stream moved to the Ohio and Tennessee Valley behind the valley and created strong winds, along with a low pressure center moved quickly north-east across the area on 27 April. During the afternoon of April 27, CAPE values ​​are estimated to be in the range 2000-3000 J/kg in Louisiana and southern Mississippi, with moderate instability moving northeast across the southern Tennessee Valley; In addition, temperatures throughout the southeastern United States range from 70 Â ° F (mid 20 Â ° C) to 90 Â ° F (nearly 35 Â ° C). The authenticity level ranges from 450-600 m 2 /s 2 , which supports some significant and strong tornado activity to a roughly long-line tornado.
A total of 56 hours of bad weather was released by the Hurricane Prediction Center (SPC) for four days in the epidemic area. These include 41 tornado watches - 10 of which are dangerous situation watches (PDS), and 15 hours of severe lightning storms. SPC provides a number for every bad weather hour issued starting at the beginning of each year; the organization failed to use two watch numbers allocated during this outbreak (numbers 208 and 209).
April 25
A large area likely a severe storm for April 25-27 is predicted as a Hurricane Prediction Center (SPC) risking bad weather for three consecutive days, centered in Arkansas via Tennessee. At 3:25 pm CDT (2025 UTC), SPC issues a very dangerous tornado (PDS) situation for most of Arkansas and parts of Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. During the night of April 25, several tornadoes have been reported in several states, some of which cause significant damage in Arkansas. An intense supercell storm that was tracked near the Little Rock area and a tornado emergency state was stated for the town of Vilonia. A large EF2 tornado hit the city, then caused severe damage and killed four people. A strong EF3 tornado has also hit the Village Water Resources area last night; The tornado caused severe damage and resulted in one death. Later that night, another EF2 tornado caused extensive damage to both the school building and the Small Air Force Base as well. Severe flooding continued in the vast area of ​​the Red River valley to the Great Lakes. A total of 42 tornadoes and four tornado-related deaths were confirmed on the 25th.
April 26
High-risk bad weather is issued for April 26 for parts of Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas along and near the Interstate 30 corridor as conditions become more favorable for extreme weather. A large PDS tornado watch with a very high chance for a tornado was issued for the same area that afternoon. A widespread tornado warning was then issued in the area that night.
A sloping top tilt trough with two shortwave embedded produces two low surfaces which spread generally to the east. One of the lowest surfaces tracked in the northeast along the Mississippi River to Wisconsin due to clogging. Tornado watches were ejected for the Lower Great Lakes during the afternoon hours as a storm of superchells thrived along a warm front that lifted north across central Michigan. Two tornadoes landed in Michigan and caused damage to the farm structure. Further east, a severe thunderstorm caused widespread winds and large hailstones in Pennsylvania and New York. Two-inch diameter hail was reported in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. An isolated supercell moves across Central New York all afternoon, producing a large golf ball in Syracuse and producing a very short EF1 tornado at Verona Mills, which mainly causes damage to trees. Another tornado - this one was in Gilbertsville - caused significant damage to the school's athletic field.
The lower second surface corresponds to a strong upper-level divergence area leading up to a short downstream wave. When low formed in Texas and deepened as it moved eastward, the pressure tightening pressure gradient further strengthened the low-level jet, thereby creating a broad warm sector throughout the southeastern states. It also produces a stronger wind shear, providing a better organization for supercell storms as a result. Many tornadoes touch several states, including Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas. Most of the tornadoes are weak, but some cause great damage. Long traced tornado wedges cause EF2 damage in rural areas of Texas and Louisiana. An EF3 tornado destroyed several structures and caused severe damage at Fort Campbell, Kentucky as well. A total of 55 tornadoes were confirmed 26, though no casualties occurred.
April 27
Significantly bad weather was taking place earlier on 27 April and continued throughout the day almost unbroken. For the second day in a row, the SPC issued a high risk of bad weather for the Southern United States. Later that morning, the SPC even increased the likelihood of a tornado to 45 percent along the corridor from Meridian, Mississippi, to Huntsville, Alabama, a very rare publishing exceeding high risk standards. Conditions become more profitable for tornadoes during such extreme tornado outbreaks.
The morning squall path
During the early hours of the morning, a cold front with some low-pressure areas embedded stretches from east Texas to northeast to the Ohio River Valley. A top-grade distraction that had moved across the frontal border of the previous night triggered a storm area that turned into a blizzard line. This severe thunderstorm will result in a tornado activity from the night of April 26 to the morning of the end of April 27. Early in the morning in the squall line, flapping straight-line winds and many embedded tornadoes, moving through Louisiana and Mississippi before proceeding to influence North and Central Alabama and Central and Eastern parts of Tennessee. This line is reinforced as it moves through Alabama, in part due to the high humidity levels of the lower Gulf of Mexico and the rise of wind shear.
Many of the tornadoes embedded in this initial line are weak, although some are strong and cause significant damage. EF3 caused major damage to homes in Coaling, Alabama, EF2 and EF3 resulting in severe damage and death near Eupora, Mississippi. Another EF3 resulted in heavy damage in downtown Cordova, Alabama, which was attacked by a deadly EF4 tornado that afternoon. An embedded cell that began in Cullman County, Alabama produced the long traced EF2 that hit Hanceville town, killing one person. The cell will produce more than ten tornadoes (mostly EF1) to the northeast in Marshall County and another EF1 in Dade County, Georgia. The initial storm caused widespread electricity and telephone line outages in Alabama and Tennessee. This storm line also caused some NOAA weather radio transmitting sites to stop functioning for the rest of the outbreak. Therefore, many people have no power and have no warning about the tornado approaching in the future.
From morning to evening, other squall lines move through the northern parts of Mississippi and Alabama when high winds and low humidity levels persist. However, this time some discrete supercells developed together and in front of the line, spawning seven weak tornadoes in Morgan, Limestone, and Madison County in northern Alabama around noon that day.
Supercells afternoon
The most intense supercells of the epidemic developed shortly after midday in Mississippi and began to trace eastward. During the afternoon, when the wind blows and the low humidity levels continue to rise dramatically, a tornado emergency is declared for the Neshoba Region, Mississippi, due to a large tornado reported on the ground by a storm surgeon and camera above the television tower of the ABC Affiliate WTOK-TV (channel 11 ) in Meridian, Mississippi. This powerful EF5 tornado caused tremendous damage in northeast Philadelphia, Mississippi, where sidewalks ripped from roads, thrown vehicles, and soils dug to a depth of 2 feet (0.61 m) by a tornado. Three people were killed when a mobile home was thrown 300 yards (270 m) into the forest area, obliterating it in the process. Another EF4 tornado tracked very long past the Enterprise, Mississippi town, killed seven people before crossing into Alabama and eventually disappeared. In response to the high risks incurred by the SPC and the already unstable atmosphere that is expected to become more volatile during the afternoon hours, PDS tornado watches are issued at 1:45 pm. CDT (1845 UTC) for most of Alabama and parts of Mississippi, Tennessee, and Georgia. A large complex of supercell storms spread the states of Mississippi and Alabama and violent tornadoes began to quickly touch as the night progressed. Four tornadoes were officially rated as EF5 on the Fujita Improvement scale that day. One of the EF5s attacked the town of Smithville, Mississippi, where many well-constructed brick houses were dimmed into empty slabs, many hardwood trees were completely dormant, and an SUV was thrown half a mile to the top of the city's water tower, then leaving a visible dent. Another long-traced EF5 tornado passing through the rural areas of Alabama and Tennessee, became the deadliest tornado of the epidemic because it completely destroyed the towns of Hackleburg, Phil Campbell, Mount Hope, Tanner and Harvest, killing 72 people. It marks only the third day in history (3 April 1974 and 13 March 1990) that there are more than two reports of the F5/EF5 tornado.
The tornado continued to track through Alabama in the middle of the afternoon and into the afternoon hours. A dangerous and destructive tornado hit the town of Cullman, Alabama at about 3:00 pm. CDT (2000 UTC). This huge whirlwind was captured in several tower cameras from television stations, such as the Fox WBRC affiliate (channel 6) and ABC affiliate WBMA-LD/WCFT-TV/WJSU-TV (channels 58, 33 and 40) both from Birmingham. Tornadoes cause considerable damage in downtown; finally rated as EF4. The latest damage was 867 residences and 94 businesses in Cullman, and six died. The city of Cordova, Alabama, which had been damaged by an EF3 tornado from an early storm, was hit by an EF4 tornado that killed 13 people. Two violent EF4 tornadoes also ripped Jackson County, Alabama, one of which caused deaths near Bridgeport while others passed near Pisgah and into Georgia where it caused massive damage at Trenton and killed 14 people. Around 5:10 pm CDT (2210 UTC), a very large and very destructive tornado attacked Tuscaloosa, Alabama and about 40 minutes later, the same tornado hit the nearest northern suburb of Birmingham. Emergency tornadoes were issued for both cities, along with many other cities that day. Many local TV stations, including WBRC and WBMA-LD/WCFT/WJSU, and CBS WIAT affiliate (channel 42), broadcast live footage of this long tornado in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. A ball of debris was observed by Birmingham NEXRAD, suggesting that the tornado was causing extreme damage. The tornado killed 64 people and caused massive damage in densely populated areas, and tornadoes attacked several small communities similar to the April 4, 1956, April 1977 F5 and the April 5, 1998 F5 tornado that hit parts of Birmingham. The Supercell that produces the Tuscaloosa/Birmingham EF4 tornado comes from Newton County, Mississippi. Supercell also produced an EF4 tornado later that night that killed 22 people and hit the Ohatchee, Alabama area and eventually crossed into Georgia, causing additional damage near the Spring Cave before it disappeared. Further south, a mile-wide EF3 tornado killed 7 people in most of the countryside and caused great damage in the small town of Eoline. The end-of-day EF5 tornado caused tremendous damage in and around Rainsville, Alabama, killing 25 people before crossing into Georgia and disappearing. Tornadoes continue to touch further to the northeast at sunset, especially in Georgia. These include long traced EF4 that caused major damage in Ringgold, Georgia, Apison, Tennessee, and Cleveland, Tennessee, killing 20 people along the way. After dark, violent tornadoes continue to subside, and the nightly EF4 tornado destroyed many lakeside homes on Lake Martin in eastern Alabama, killing seven people. Additional powerful night tornadoes took place in Georgia, including EF3 that killed two people in Barnesville, and another EF3 that destroyed many homes and killed one person in Lake Burton.
Advanced activity in the far east
A strong tornado landed in Tennessee also that night. A violent EF4 struck the New Harmony, Tennessee community, where homes were flattened, vehicles were thrown, and four people were killed. Two EF3 tornadoes crossed roads in Greene and Washington County (coming several hours apart), resulting in eight casualties. The rural communities of Horse Creek and Camp Creek suffered great damage from the tornadoes that night. An enormous EF4 tornado leveled a mile-wide forest plot 14 miles (23 km) from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. At Chilhowee Lake, massive truss power metal towers are torn and thrown from their concrete supporters.
The secondary area of ​​bad weather also flourished that day and night along the corridor stretching from central and northern Virginia to the north through Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York, continuing until early April 28. Many tornadoes also land in this area. Most of these tornadoes are weak, although the EF2 tornado landed near the town of Halifax, Virginia, and caused severe damage to houses in the area, resulting in one death. Tornado warning issued to Southern Ontario as far north of Ottawa as well; one tornado was later confirmed in Fergus, Ontario.
Overview
A statewide review by emergency management officials recorded 249 fatalities in Alabama, 23 of which were unrelated to tornadoes. The damage and blackouts in the Huntsville area are so widespread that at one point over 650,000 people lost power in the Tennessee Valley Authority system. The EF5 tornado that hit Hackleburg and Phil Campbell eventually damaged the main power grid coming from the Browns Ferry Nuclear Factory further northeast. These towers are the main power supply for most of North Alabama and some others without electricity for two weeks. The tornado has just lost the Limestone Correctional Facility, which less than a year later will be hit by another tornado.
The Storm Prediction Center received 292 reports of tornadoes within the previous 24 hours. It broke the record for most tornadoes touchdowns in 24 hours with 219 in the United States from midnight to midnight CDT (0500 - 0500 UTC) broke the record 24 hours from 147 (in both totals, including confirmed tornadoes outside the United States that are part of outbreaks) defined by the 1974 Super Plague. Of the 219 tornadoes, 59 landed in Alabama and 79 landed in Tennessee, accounting for more than half the tornadoes that landed on 27 April. On April 27 alone, the National Weather Service in Huntsville, Alabama issued a 92 tornado warning. , 31 severe lightning storm warnings, and seven banjir bandang warnings.
April 28
Tornado watches were issued for the Atlantic coast from Pennsylvania to Florida early in the day and continued into the morning and evening, but tornadoes were generally weaker and more isolated. Nevertheless, the secondary part of the epidemic that had begun producing tornadoes spread across the Mid-Atlantic and East Coast areas the previous night intensified during the early hours of the morning, generating many tornadoes in Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Maryland. While mostly weak, some tornadoes that struck parts of Virginia, New York, and Pennsylvania were strong. Although tornado hours are expelled, no tornadoes are seen in New Jersey or Washington, D.C. Behind the tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, widespread floods struck the Midwest, South, and Eastern Seaboard, with massive floods and flash flood warnings issued. A very destructive and deadly EF3 tornado hit the city of Glade Spring, Virginia early in the morning, in which three people were killed. The last tornado of the outbreak occurred that afternoon in eastern North Carolina, which was hit hard in the April 16 outbreak, although the tornado that affected the area was currently weak. The system moved into the Atlantic Ocean that night, with the exception of an isolated lightning storm in central Florida that night until April 29, though at the time there was no tornado.

The famous tornado
* One tornado landed in Ontario, Canada, on 27 April and rated as F0. This is calculated as EF0 in this table.
Vilonia, Arkansas
The first tornado of an outbreak that caused many deaths was a long and traced EF2 wedge tornado that struck the small town of Vilonia in Faulkner County, Arkansas, at about 7:30 am. CDT (00:30 UTC) on April 25th. Tornado warnings are issued to the area about 30 minutes before the arrival of a tornado, and relatively low casualties are associated with this lead time. The emergency state of a tornado is stated at 7:24 pm. CDT (00:24 UTC) for the city just before the tornado struck. Four people were killed in the city and many others were injured. The tornado landed northwest of Ferndale in Pulaski County at 6:48 pm. CDT (23:48 UTC), cutting down trees and transmission towers at the intensity of EF1. This continues in the northeast of the Natural Steps, destroying a small church and cutting down many trees, one of which landed in a house. The tornado kept tearing down trees as it passed near Roland, some of which landed in homes. The tornado reaches the power of EF2 while crossing into Faulkner County and past the southeast Mayflower, uprooting many trees and power lines and destroying other homes and buildings. Past Mayflower, continued on to Vilonia and crashed into a mobile home park, where many mobile homes were destroyed and four casualties occurred. Two casualties occurred when the couple sought refuge in a cargo container, which was thrown 150 meters (140 m) and kept near a pond. Several other people were injured in this area as well. The tornado retains the intensity of EF2 while moving directly through Vilonia, destroying many homes and businesses and flipping some semi trucks. The American Red Cross shows that about 34 homes built on the site and 62 car homes were destroyed, 91 on-site houses and 41 mobile homes suffered major damage, 145 on-site homes and 43 mobile homes suffered minor damage, and 53 built homes and 38 car homes affected with some other ways in the Vilonia area. One of the car houses was picked up and reversed, and the two bathtub houses were found on a hill about 40 meters (37 m). The only occupants of the car house suffered serious injuries. After moving through Vilonia, the tornado weakened into an EF1 force when it moved to White County and passed west of El Paso, where trees were blown into homes (damaged several roofs), granaries and other buildings were destroyed, an RV and a trailer part of a tractors are overturned, and hundreds of trees are cut down. The tornado eventually disappears north of Joy at 7:59 pm. CDT (00:59 UTC), after traveling more than 51 miles (82 km). At its widest point, the tornado is 1.64 miles (2.64 km) wide. After the tornado, 85 US National Guard members were deployed to help search and rescue, debris clearance, security and traffic control.
On April 27, 2014, three years and two days after this tornado, a violent EF4 tornado landed west of Ferndale and moved along a path similar to this tornado, causing 16 casualties and many injuries. However, it further affected the Mayflower than this tornado and caused even greater damage along the way, especially in Vilonia, before lifting near El Paso.
Philadelphia-Kemper County, Mississippi
The first EF5 tornado of the plague landed near the city of Philadelphia, Mississippi, on 27 April. The tornado landed at 2:30 pm. CDT (19:30 UTC) and traveling for nearly 29 miles (47 km) via Neshoba, Kemper, Winston and Noxubee Counties, reaching the maximum width of 1 / 2 -mile (0.80 km). The tornado killed three people, injured eight others, and caused $ 1.1 million in damage on track.
The super thunderstorm that caused the tornado was formed around 1:00 pm. CDT south of Jackson, Mississippi. Traveling fast to the northeast, it secured a severe lightning storm warning within 25 minutes and was considered potentially tornadic by 1:36 pm. CDT. The tornado finally landed at 2:30 am. CDT is to the east of Philadelphia City Airport. It quickly intensified and started to produce EF5 damage at 2:38 pm. CDT; extreme land excavation, up to 2 feet (0.61 m) deep in places, occurred in the northeast of Neshoba County. After crossing into Kemper County, the tornado wiped out a mobile home, killing three people inside. This reaches the strength of EF5 for a second time near the Kemper-Winston line where extreme ground excavations are once again happening and the sidewalks are dug up. Extreme tree damage occurred along the track and finally disappeared at 3:00 pm. CDT about 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Mashulaville.
This is the first tornado that caused damage to F5/EF5 in Mississippi since the Candlestick Park tornado on March 3, 1966. In addition, the Smithville tornado formation later that day marked the first time since statistics have been saved that two EF5 tornadoes have been recorded in Mississippi on the same day. Prior to this, the last confirmed EF5 tornado was Parkersburg, the Iowa tornado on May 25, 2008.
Cullman/Arabic, Alabama
Given the value of EF4, this highly visible multi-vortex tornado is traced directly through downtown Cullman. The tornado landed at 2:40 pm. CDT (19:40 UTC) on April 27 and tracked 47 miles (76 km) of damage through Cullman, Morgan and Marshall Counties, causing six deaths.
Tornado Cullman first landed on the north side of Lewis Smith Lake and caused minor structural damage near Crane Hill before intensifying and tracing directly toward the Cullman, snapping many trees and destroying many homes.
Tornadoes became violent when entering Cullman, tracked and broadcast live through several tower cameras, including one operated by ABC 33/40 for several minutes; the camera captured the destruction of communications towers belonging to Cullman television station, a low-powered WCQT-LP television station when a tornado tore through the city. The radio stations in downtown Cullman also reported about the tornado and some even caught him through it until the power went out. Downtown Cullman was badly damaged by a hurricane, with major damage along the two-block area through the center of the downtown business district. Many well-constructed brick buildings and storefronts in downtown Cullman are heavily damaged or totally destroyed, along with several churches. The courthouse and nearby emergency management buildings were hit by a direct tornado attack, considerable damage, and two school buildings were also heavily damaged. Many famous businesses, such as Vincent's Furniture, The Cullman Times, and Busy Bee Cafe, were also badly damaged. Many houses were damaged or destroyed in residential areas of the city, with extensive tree and electricity damage also recorded. Overall, a total of 867 residences and 94 businesses in the city of Cullman were damaged or destroyed.
The Tornado, more or less, follows the US Highway 278 through the city, where it creates extensive damage along many major intersections, including those with Interstate 65, US Highway 31, and Alabama State Route 157 and 69.
The tornado continues to the northeast, becoming big and wedge-shaped. Then past north of Fairview, completely destroying many houses and scattering many hardwood trees. Pieces of debris found in the pikes of vehicles in this area. The Tornado then briefly passes through Morgan County near the town of Hulaco, destroying some of the older block building houses and photographing many large trees at the base. The tornado then crossed into Marshall County and impacted the rural community of Ruth, in northern Arabia. A large stone house but less anchored was wiped out in this area, with debris scattered 100 meters from the foundation. Some of the big trees on the property were torn from the ground and gone, along with a trailer that could not be found at the time of the survey. Several other houses and buildings were affected in the Ruth area, and a gas station was completely destroyed. A warehouse was destroyed with pieces of a large farm machine kept inside up to 20 meters away, a storage trailer thrown 100 meters and found punctured by some wooden planks, and concrete electric poles in the area were bent. The Arab power grid is completely paralyzed by the effects of tornadoes, and many roads in the area are blocked by falling trees and power lines. The tornado destroyed and destroyed several other houses, garages and warehouses north of Union Grove before crossing the Tennessee River, pinning many trees in a wooded area before being removed.
Hackleburg-Phil Campbell-Tanner-Harvest, Alabama/Huntland, Tennessee
This terrible and long traced EP5 tornado is the deadliest of the plague. It first landed in Marion County, Alabama about 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest-southwest of Hamilton at around 3:00 pm. CDT (2100 UTC) on April 27, leaving huge damage along its path. The storm will eventually reach the Hackleburg area, completely flattening many homes and businesses, including the Wrangler, Inc. plant. the big one. Most of the structures in downtown Hackleburg were badly damaged and Hackleburg High School was destroyed. Well-constructed houses were swept away from the foundations, there were many pieces of wood going on, dead trees, and cars thrown in hundreds of meters. According to the American Red Cross, 75 percent of the city was destroyed. Although initially rated as EF3, the rating was upgraded to EF5 after further damage analysis, making it the first F5/EF5 tornado in Alabama since the April 8, 1998, Birmingham tornado.
Immediately after crossing into Franklin County, the town of Phil Campbell suffered significant damage as great as Hackleburg. Many houses, some of which are well built, drift when tornadoes tear the city. At least three churches along the way suffered significant damage, with one church in the city completely destroyed and having only the remaining foundation slabs. Several mobile homes along the road were completely destroyed, and their crushed skeleton was thrown at least 25 to 50 meters (23 to 46 m). Cars were thrown and smashed along the tornado road, with one car wrapped around a crammed tree. A 25 foot (7.6 m) sidewalk is torn off the road in this area as well. The most severe damage along the road occurred northeast of Phil Campbell in the rural community of Oak Grove, where vehicles were carried away and destroyed unrecognizably, large trees completely dormant, and large brick houses with large anchors were obliterated with wind ruins. - weighs hundreds of meters away. The tornado continued into Lawrence County, impacting the Mount Hope community, where significant destruction occurred in single-family homes and restaurants. Nothing but the foundations and piles of debris left in the restaurant location, and a fraction of the foundation foundations of the restaurant were curved.
Tornadoes move northeast, resulting in EF3 damage in and around Langtown. Tornado re-intensified into EF4 power as it passes near Moulton and Trinity, debarking trees, mangling, and flattening homes. Then continue through the northwest corner of Morgan County, across Lake Wheeler, and move to Limestone County, coming within 2 miles (3.2 km) of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant. Tornadoes cause power outages in the area, and factories must be closed. Tornado continues to Tanner's small community. Tanner suffered major damage to EF4 and a narrow "high-end EF4 corridor approaching EF5 damage". The storm "completely wiped clean" some well-built homes with binding anchors. When a storm crosses US Highway 72 in eastern Limestone County, a tornado destroys Doppler radar operated by NBC affiliate WAFF (channel 48) and continues to East Limestone, a densely populated area in Limestone County where homes in several subdivisions are damaged or destroyed in high-end EF3 power. As the storm crossed into Madison County, the storm approached the heavily populated suburbs of Harvest and Toney, where it damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes, especially in Anderson Hills and Carter's Gin subdivisions. Many homes are reduced to rubble, and damage in this area is assessed mainly EF3 with a small bag of EF4 damage in Harvest. Tornadoes completely destroyed the Piggly Wiggly grocery store in Harvest and ruined supermarkets and local banks, which were closed for months after the event. The storm drove past Pulas Pulaski in northwest Madison County, destroying many homes. Overall, hundreds of homes receive moderate to large damage along the path from Limestone to Madison County with many of them being a total loss.
Tornado then moved to Tennessee and continued south of Huntland. TOLs for isolated and minor EF1s are recorded through most of the Tennessee line. Extensive damage to trees and outbuildings occurring in this area. The worst damage, however, is to build a cinder block utility and rated low-end EF3. Most of the roof has been removed, with more than half the wall downwind driven out. The tornado eventually disappears east of Huntland.
In total, the tornado killed 72 people, all in Alabama. This made it the most deadly tornado ever in the state of Alabama and (at that) the deadliest in the United States since Udam 1955, a Kansas tornado that killed 80 people. In addition to being the most lethal, the tornado also has the longest path of any tornado in the plague, with its track reaching 132.1 miles (212.6 km) across North Alabama and into Tennessee.
Reformasi- Oakman-Cordova-Blountsville, Alabama
The tornado landed at 3:40 pm in northeast Pickens County, Alabama, damaging several chicken houses with the power of EF1. The tornado caused damage to the roof of the house and destroyed several other buildings before moving to Tuscaloosa County and briefly to Fayette County, causing major damage to EF2 trees and minor structural damage. The tornado was then moved back to Tuscaloosa County, causing most of the minor damage to the trees and structures in the strength of EF1 before rapidly intensifying and crossing into Fayette County once more. There, it completely destroys at least one mobile home, with the frames separated and the remaining debris thrown to a considerable distance. The whirlwind grew stronger and some of the car houses were completely obliterated with debris thrown at great distances and frames arched and thrown. Damage assessed EF3 in this area. Many trees were cut down before tornadoes moved into Walker County. It then weakens into EF1 forces and causes minor damage to trees and mobile homes. In southern Oakman, many trees are felled and removed, cell phone towers torn down, and mobile homes destroyed by the intensity of EF2. Then toppled the vehicle and destroyed the cinder block house in the southeast of Oakman, with EF3 rated damage at that location. The tornado weakened as it approached Corridor X from the Appalachian Development Highway System, with minor EF0 tree damage, before being significantly strengthened when entering the city of Cordova as 0.5 miles (0.80 km) wide of EF3.
In Cordova, many houses and production houses were damaged or destroyed in this area along with many felled trees. Some of the houses that were not planted in the city were swept away from the foundations. The building in downtown Cordova was damaged by an EF3 tornado earlier that morning and received further damage from this tornado. In eastern Cordova, a tornado crosses Mulberry Fork from the Black Warrior River three times (along with Sipsey Fork once, just north of his encounter with Mulberry Fork). This intensified into a ferocious EF4 in northeast Walker County, as it completely flattened a house built on the premises and wiped out two nearby mobile homes. One undercarriage under the car house is thrown at least 500 yards (460 m). A 5-ton bulldozer was reversed, a pickup truck was thrown 200 yards (180 m) away, and a garbage truck was thrown 50 yards (46 m) away and crushed. A two-ton trailer is thrown 1 mile (1.6 km) and leaves the crater within 2.5-feet (0.76 m) where it impacts the ground. Two large-width car houses were thrown at least 100 meters (91 m), and a third car house thrown 100 yards (91 m) to 50 feet (15 m) of dikes and crushed along this road segment as well. To the south of Sipsey, several additional homes and mobile homes were destroyed by the power of EF2 to EF3 and many trees were taken.
Tornado then traverses Mulberry Fork for the fourth time and moves to Cullman County. South of Arkadelphia, the second area of ​​EF4 damage was observed, as the construction of the home cinder block was leveled and the car was thrown 130 meters (120 m).
