andyhb Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 If you had to put some sort of value of damage or casualty potential with a tornado, that one is almost certainly way up there, considering it's path length, size, intensity, longevity of maintaining said intensity and forward speed. The fact it killed 72 people (and the ratio of fatalities to injuries) without going through a town of more than 1500 people (per the 2010 census) speaks for itself.

andyhb Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Figured I'd bump this to let everyone know that the gaps in the ABC 33/40 coverage (on John Brown's Youtube page) of this event are going be filled in over the coming days since Bill Castle found it. The morning coverage (of the intense QLCS that swept through the state) between 3:30 and 6:00 AM is already uploaded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGqjHgLzibY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ9S0rFhRHw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kperk014 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 One gentleman described the Phil Campbell tornado as a "giant octopus" as it came over the mountain into Mount Hope. He's not in this video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianc33710 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I don't know if anyone else plans to post anything in here, as tomorrow marks the April 27 2011 Superoutbreak's 10th anniversary. But the Birmingham & Huntsville NWS put this together. https://04272011-noaa.hub.arcgis.com/ I'm sure some others out there have things to add & share. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
