ACCUWEATHER.comFrom Thursday, April 14, 2011 to Saturday, April, 16, 2011, devastating tornadoes rampaged across communities of the southern United States. Cities and towns from Oklahoma to North Carolina were assaulted by the deadly twisters.
The tornado outbreak led to a total of 289 tornado reports in 15 states over the three-day period. While this number reflects total reports, not total number of tornadoes (as multiple sightings of the same tornado are often submitted), this tornado outbreak will likely be ranked among the largest in history.
AccuWeather.com's Jesse Ferrell has more information on the outbreak in terms of numbers and ranking in history.
Tragically, the death toll has risen to 45 people so far with dozens of others injured. The number of fatalities could rise as investigations continue. This tornado outbreak already ranks as the most deadly outbreak since the 2008 Super Tuesday tornado outbreak.
