Today we break down the 2011 Super Outbreak and one tornado in particular. The April 27, 2011 Tuscaloosa-Birmingham, AL EF4 tornado may not have been the strongest storm of the day, but it’s long track and costliness makes it a very interesting study. Join us as we discuss the atmospheric elements that created this monster storm as well as the devastation the storm brought.

Yee Haw.
It is fascinating to hear how many people in the field keep saying "We're due/overdue for another EF5 tornado." as well as perhaps another large outbreak. Kinda gives ya the shivers to think about!!!!
Would be awesome to see a case study on the Niles, OH F5 from 1985 if you haven't donenone already! Just found your channel, great videos!
You guys. What can I say? With most other Youtubers going into making short format videos; you two (And a certain Sarah Jane, Wonder…. something-or-other!) still stick to the longer one. I am soooo glad. I get so much more info that way. Call me weird but I still love learning… even in my ancient years!
Keep it up guys. Be well, happy and safe.

Kinda miss the coffee intro but still love this one and the fine content 🎉
I remember seeing NBC Nightly News talk about this days after it happened. It was crazy seeing all the weather footage and the footage of the aftermath. And speaking of the weather footage, even thought the tornado was rated as an EF-4, just looking at the footage, it looks more like an apocalyptic tornado. It looks more like an EF-6 or 7. Man, 2011 was a crazy year for natural disasters. Cause you not only had this, but just a month before this in March, Japan had that devastating earthquake and tsunami that eventually cause the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daciichi power plants too.
I’ve been looking forward to another one of these!
This the April 27th that had 202 tornadoes in 24 hours
Good to see you both again. Always good to see another tornado case study. Being spring is here, will you all be doing any tornado and severe storm chases? Also congrats on 6K subs!!!
Congrats on 6k! Ive been subbed to yall since 1 or 2k i believe
I would love to do videos like this but i dont know how to get info etc especially for historic tornadoes that werent in modern day
Also could you go a video on the great freeze of mid February 2011 and 2021 i was affected in feb 2021 without power for almost a week in below 0 to single digit temps
Excellent show..ty
Please make a video on weather maps for Pakistan and India
