Early results from the late April burst of tornadoes that ripped across the southeast, killing over 300 show that 2011 is already the third worst tornado season on record. And it isn’t over yet. The month of April broke the record for most tornadoes, as a swath of destruction tore from Oklahoma to Virginia, hitting Alabama especially hard.
Meteorologists have been analyzing the data associated with the tornado outbreak and have counted over 300 separate tornadoes during April 26-28, including two F-5s, the strongest that can be measured with winds over 200 mph.
