The Day After a Deadly Tornado Outbreak





Yesterday was a very large tornado outbreak. As of about 7PM the death toll was at 54. By state, the death totals are: Tennessee: 30. Arkansas: 13. Kentucky: 7. Alabama: 4. This is the deadliest tornado outbreak since May, 31, 1985. This was a very tragic evening and night across the Mississippi, Tennessee, and Southern Ohio Valleys, and hopefully we won't see such a large tornado outbreak for a long time. There have been 80 tornadoes so far (including 2 today). From what I've heard one EF-4 tornado has been classified. Those pictures above are just 2 out of 137 amazing pictures from the AP and Yahoo News, and all 137 can be seen at this location. BTW, Nashville did aviod possible disaster yesterday evening, as the hook echo on radar (posted in last post) and/or possible tornado weakened just before hitting downtown Nashville.
