Hum Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 MARYSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - Two Indiana towns have been heavily damaged today by powerful storms stretching from the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes. A sheriff's official in southern Indiana says the town of Marysville is "completely gone," and extreme damage is reported in nearby Henryville. Just to the east, in Kentucky, an apparent tornado flattened a volunteer fire station. Dozens of homes were damaged in Alabama and Tennessee. The violent weather struck two days after storms killed 13 people in the Midwest and South. No fatalities have been reported in the latest round of storms, which are expected to threaten tornadoes until later today. more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerowen Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Relates to my topic at http://www.neowin.ne...s-in-the-south/ It's crazy stuff, there were tornadoes in places that had never seen one in my memory, and all of a sudden they got hit multiple times over the past week.

DocM Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 This is nothing. Memories are short. In April 2011 the record outbreak had 359 tornados in 3 days 6.5 hours with an EF5 (enhanced Fujita scale) in the mix. 322 dead and $11 billion in damages. The 1974 Super Outbreak had 148 confirmed tornados (God knows how many unconfirmed) in just 18 hours, including a monster F5 (old Fujita scale.) 319 dead and about $4 billion in todays dollars.
