Today is the ninth anniversary of the beginning of the 2011 Super Outbreak

It was a meteorological event that began on April 25, climaxed on April 27, and ended the following day. On this day 9 years ago, 42 tornadoes touched down in several Trans-Mississippi states - the bulk of which occurred in Arkansas. The strongest tornado of April 25 was an EF3 that struck the town of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. But the deadliest storm of the day was an EF2 that struck the city of Vilonia, just outside of Little Rock, killing four people. Another EF2 hit Little Rock Air Force Base and destroyed a nearby school.

Truly an epic event where every single parameter, factor, and ingredient necessary for a massive severe weather event was perfect and in place.

I was in Huntsville for that. We lost power for more than week because Browns Ferry power plant had to shut down. An older lady who I was taking a class with used the tornados as an excuse to not turn in her assignment. She said the tornado must have scrambled up her emails.

I remember how they were forecasting this days in advance. Maybe even that Friday before April 27, 2011.

Mother Nature is cruel count. The Bitch must be brought to heel.

The April 27th, 2011 Philadelphia, MS was an EF5, and NWS investigators said it is arguably the most extreme example of ground scouring ever seen, given the storm's speed (60 to 70 mph). YouTube
Regardless, craziest shite I've ever seen.
Just one potentially maneating supercell rolling through after another day after day after day.

Please explain in laymen’s wording what made this set up so good for storms

Is that Mississippi that wants to be another state, or another state that wants to be Mississippi?

I saw the early stages of the supercell that dumped the ef-3 on Hot Springs Village. A county south of the village it was already rotating and intermittently dropping funnels. I'll see if I can locate some pics.
That night was crazy, one warning would end and another would begin. The cells kept popping up one after another in the same areas for hours. Very tense afternoon/night

Don’t worry, Democrats are working on a strategy for that.

Nah. It's the states of Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, eastern Texas and eastern Oklahoma. It's what Civil War historians call the theater of war immediately west of the Mississippi River.

I was transitioning to AR from CA on military orders. Every time we drove home to IL from CA, we'd stop in Joplin. On that PCS we were going to stop in Joplin when it got hit, instead we drove straight thru because GPS took us a different route to Ark.

Weather Extreme videos leading up to April, 27 with Spann:
April 24
April 25
April 26
Compilation of April 19-26
These are good to get a good knowledge of the overall setup for that day. You can feel the tension as the days progress and it becomes clearer what is coming.

I didn't post all of the Weather Extreme videos leading up to the day, but you can go back at least to April 19 and watch the full videos from every day. They average around 10 minutes.

Several tornado tracks visible from space.
Tuscaloosa is in the center of the image. Birmingham on the top right. Several tornado tracks visible from space.

Tuscaloosa. Note the width of the tornado in comparison to the width of the river and size of Bryant Denny Stadium.

You may know, are there images like this for the Hackleburg tornado, particularly along its entire track?
Posted on 4/25/20 at 12:15 pm to Asharad
Seeing the aftermath of the tornado in Tuscaloosa nearly brought me to my knees. It was like God shoved his hand under the earth and scooped it up over the town, folding utter destruction on top of everything. I couldn’t believe it.
But as Mr Rogers said, always look for the helpers. It was nice to see the state come together to volunteer and donate to the affected areas.

Not sure. I found this using Google image search phrase "2011 tornado satellite image". I wouldn't recognize the Hackleburg area. Sorry.
