27 twisters in one day?
wow Cecil


I think so. The following link says it was a super record outbreak that produced a total of 148 tornadoes over several states with 30 F4 to F5's. I was on the late bus after track, and a trailer court we stopped at got wiped out a few minutes after we left. My bus driver saw a bale of hay high above like it was a piece of paper after he dropped us all off. We had no idea what was going on until later. I do remember seeing lightning in all four directions, which I thought was odd. I later read in a weather textbook that is a sign of impending very severe weather.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
