There was hope that this morning squall line would work over the atmosphere and rob it of the energy that would be needed for the storms that afternoon.

There was hope, but it was nothing more than hopeful thinking. Watch the weather extreme videos Spann and crew did leading up to April 27. Even a day or two before they were speaking in near absolutes. They weren't the only ones, either. From the SPC, NWS offices, down to most on-air mets in most markets knew it was almost certain to be a two-round event.

ABC 33/40 put together several videos for the 1 year anniversary back in 2012. One was about how the ABC 33/40 weather team was impacted by April 27th. In it Jason Simpson talks about how, during the midday lull, they had a meeting and he looked at the news director and asked, “have I ever told you that I expect a violent tornado outbreak with mass casualties?” and when the news director said “no” Jason said “well, today’s that day.”
