Southern Tornadoes Leave Behind Death and Destruction

The last week of March 2022 brought dozens of tornadoes and hundreds of reports of wind damage as a strong storm system swept from the Plains to the Northeast.

There have been more than 400 reports of severe weather since Tuesday evening from Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas to parts of the South and into the Northeast. That includes just over three dozen of tornadoes, including some that neared Birmingham and Mobile, Alabama; Raleigh, North Carolina and Washington, DC.

Damage from a tornado that raked through parts of Springdale, Arkansas, early Wednesday morning, was rated EF3. It will take several days for the National Weather Service to confirm and assign ratings for many other tornadoes in this outbreak.
