The April 22-25, 2010, tornado outbreak: 150-mile path of terror

by



Starting on April 22, 2010, a tornado outbreak would last from the 22-25 of April 2010 spawning 96 tornadoes killing 10. All 10 would be from the 150-mile-long Yazoo city EF4. In this video we dive into the meteorological set-up, the outbreak and its aftermath.

The goal of this video is to provide a quick and easy breakdown of the before mentioned outbreak and more specifically the Yazoo city/Durant ef4.

  4. I usually never comment, but thank you very much for making and uploading these videos! You are very knowledgeable and talented! It is very important that the stories of these lesser-known tornadoes and their victims are shared. I was born in Holmes County, Mississippi, where that giant in the thumbnail passed through, but live in Tennessee. I can attest to the fact that the damage did indeed look like a lumber yard. Whenever my parents and I went back to visit, we would go to a local truck stop for ice cream. Along the way, there was a large swath of trees near the two damaged homes that were completely broken and destroyed. At the time, I was a teenager who didn't know much about tornadoes, so I didn't think much of it, but after studying them for a few months now at 27, it is just surreal to realize exactly what caused all of that damage! It passed not even five miles south of a few relatives' houses. Another tornado moved along the same path in 2021. I have also been to Moundville, Alabama and saw a lot of damage from the Tuscaloosa 2011 tornado. Right before I turned four, a tornado passed about one mile from my house, and somehow, I slept through the whole thing! I just wanted to share a little of my experience with some terrifying tornadoes, since I have never really told anyone anything that I just wrote. It feels strange seeing my neck of the woods in a Youtube video! Thank you again for making these videos! New subscriber!

  6. I’m retired now, but I used to work for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. From 1993 to 2011 a portion of my working career was spent responding on large scale disaster relief missions. I have responded on floods, hurricanes and tornadoes, usually on debris removal operations. I remember that Yazoo City tornado because I worked on that clean up. It was pretty bad to say the least! 😮

  10. It is so reassuring to see a younger generation, not only interested in any form of science, but proficient and well-versed at it.

    Meteorology has always been a love of mine. I live in hurricane territory, and I have wrote out three, it’s scary, but nothing compared to the power of a tornado. I get tornadoes are much smaller in scope, but they’re destructive force is nothing I’ve ever seen a hurricane do. Unless, of course, the hurricane itself drops numerous tornadoes, which happens every time, but I think people know what I mean.

    We were hit by hurricane Laura directly 2 1/2 years ago that’s the only storm I’ve ever seen that look like a tornado 30 miles wide just went over this area
