	Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak - 27 March 1994
		On Sunday 27 March 1994, one of the most deadly tornado outbreaks in recent history occurred in the Southeastern United States.
		It was not until early on the morning of the outbreak when the potential for strong tornadoes became clear.
		An extremely strong velocity couplet with at least 100 kts of gate-to-gate shear is shown in the storm relative velocity display for 1737 UTC 27 March 1994 from the Maxwell AFB WSR-88D Doppler radar.

	Tornado - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		A tornado is a violently rotating column of air which is in contact with both a cumulonimbus (or, in rare cases, cumulus) cloud base and the surface of the earth.
		A series of continuous tornado outbreaks is known as a tornado outbreak sequence, with significant occurrences in May 1917, 1930, 1949, and 2003.
		Tornadoes do occur throughout the world as well; the most tornado-prone region of the world (outside North America), as measured by number of reported tornadoes per unit area, is the Netherlands, followed by the United Kingdom (especially England).

	Tornado - Enpsychlopedia
		Tornadoes are known for being extremely destructive and are usually visible due to water vapor from low pressure condensation and debris from the ground.
		Tornadoes form in storms all over the world, and though they have been recorded in all fifty U.S. states, they form most famously in a broad area of the American Great Plains, Midwest, as well as South known colloquially as Tornado Alley.
		Tornadoes normally rotate in a cyclonic (counterclockwise) direction in the northern hemisphere, as the warm air in which thunderstorms usually form sweeps north and jet streams come from the west, creating a situation in which the storms rotate.

	Tornado...Meteoroloo.com
		Tornado damage to man-made structures is the result of high wind velocity and the associated wind-blown debris.
		Tornadoes are not to be confused with other meteorological vortices such as waterspouts and dust devils, which are not generally pendant from thunderstorms and are, as such, formed by entirely different physical mechanisms.
		The biggest tornado outbreak on record—with 148 tornadoes, including six F5 and 23 F4 tornadoes—occurred on April 3, 1974; it is dubbed the Super Outbreak.

	Hales/Vescio 18th SLS Conference Article
		The outbreak of significant tornadoes across the southeast U.S. on Palm Sunday, March 27, 1994 was not as synoptically evident as many of the outbreak cases in the past.
		The tornado outbreak occurred on the anticyclonic periphery of the polar jet which was well to the north.
		Since some of the parameters typically associated with tornado outbreaks (Miller 1972) were missing (coupled with a lack of mid level dry air and a rather weak cap), it was decided not to upgrade to a High Risk until after examining the morning model runs which would incorporate the more potent initial conditions.

		This is the third deadliest day for tornadoes on record, trailing the Super Outbreak of April 3, 1974, which killed 315 and the outbreak that included the Tri-State Tornado which killed 747.
		It occurred on Palm Sunday, an important day in the Christian religion, and many people were attending services at church, one possible reason why some warnings were not received.

		The SPC issued a tornado watch early in the afternoon as conditions gathered together for what would be a historic tornado outbreak.
		One of the final tornadoes in the outbreak almost hit the studios of ABC affiliate KTUL-TV in Tulsa in the early morning hours of May 4th around 12:15am CDT.
		However, it is of note that the tornado that caused the fatality at Interstate 35 mile marker 176.5 in Payne County was of F2 intensity when it struck the overpass and was NOT in an urban area.

	NOAA News Online (Story 2418)
		Following that deadly tornado outbreak, the NOAA National Weather Service underwent changes to improve severe weather forecasts and warnings, including establishing the Watch and Warning Program that exists today and the weather spotter program, SKYWARN.
		Later rated an F4 (with winds between 207-260 mph) on the Fujita tornado intensity scale, the twister was an omen of what was to come for the rest of the day.
		Tornadoes continued to develop, and the only F5 tornado (with winds of 261-318 mph) of the day occurred near Elkhart, Ind. Some accounts indicated the famous "double tornado" hit the Sunnyside subdivision killing 36 people, while other eyewitnesses said it actually hit the Midway trailer park.

	Tornado - Gurupedia
		The word "tornado" comes from the Spanish or Portuguese verb tornar, meaning "to turn." The phenomena appears in storms all around the world, though they most commonly occur in a broad area of the American Midwest and South known as Tornado Alley, but some other countries see the storms occur in even higher densitites.
		The damage from a tornado is a result of the high wind velocity and wind-blown debris, as well as from electromagnetic effects, which frequently cause "freak" occurances like wood impaling metal or stone, dried grasses (straw) impaling wood or animals and other similar effects inexplicable by fluid dynamics alone.
		It is often possible to outrun a tornado by driving away in a vehicle, but when a tornado is too close or the roads are impassable, it is recommended to get out and away from vehicles and lay flat on low ground (such as in a ditch).

		The tornado slid down a hill and destroyed the small community of Island Lake, killing one more person before ascending back into the clouds at 3:42 P.M. This was one of a handful of F4 tornadoes that occurred during this outbreak.
		This tornado then moved northeast toward La Paz and Lakeville where it destroyed a high school that was just being built.
		As the tornado continued east, it killed ten more people in Greentown, most of whom had been riding in automobiles that were hurled across the landscape.

	NOAA technology takes weather detection to new heights since Palm Sunday Tornado outbreak - Public Affairs - NOAA - NWS
		As the April 11, 1965, Palm Sunday tornado outbreak devastated parts of four midwestern states, the NOAA Weather Service (NWS) forecasters tracked storms with surveillance equipment that today would be termed rudimentary at best.
		The technology has helped the NWS increase tornado warning lead times; improve the detection and measurement of damaging winds, severe turbulence, wind shear and hail associated with severe thunderstorms; improve forecasts of the location and severity of thunderstorms; and improve the accuracy in identifying threatened areas and substantially reduced the number of false alarms.
		This means earlier detection of the precursors to tornadoes, as well as data on the direction and speed of tornadoes once they form.

		Unlike The Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak of April 11, 1965, this outbreak was mainly confined to the Southeastern United States.
		The tornado was an F4 on the Fujita scale.
		One reason for the moderately high death toll was that all of the elements that produce a tornado outbreak were missing as late as 7:00 a.m.

	The Tragic Events of April 11, 1965 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An earlier major tornado outbreak on Palm Sunday, March 28, 1920 that spanned from Michigan to Georgia was nothing more than isolated incidents in the minds of those who maybe either read the newspaper accounts of that day, or were an eyewitness to a twister that hopefully did not tear apart their homestead.
		Sadly, in the days after the Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak, many rural areas across this region were cut off from the world by these killer storms: horses were the primary means of transportation and used quite effectively to clear the rural landscape of debris.
		As the two tornadoes were moving across the areas to the west and south of Cleveland at the 11:30 hour, another twister (Q-1) was born and quickly tasted the ground in eastern Union County.

		Though he is perhaps most widely known for inventing the Fujita scale for assessing tornado damage, during the course of his 78 years he was often far "ahead of his time" in terms of his insight into the nature and cause of damaging convective storms.
		Fujita was asked to apply his microanalysis techniques to the barograph traces from a case involving a tornado outbreak in Kansas and Oklahoma on June 25, 1953.
		One steel beam struck the ground outside the tornado damage path at a 23 degree angle and was imbedded nearly eight feet.

		Posted by: tornado at January 5, 2006 03:29 AM At the time of the 1965 Palm Sunday tornadoes I was only 1 year a 1 month old, however my my mom was 17 and my dad 24.
		Out of the hundreds of tornadoes that I have researched and studied through the years, the 1965 Palm Sunday outbreak is the most gripping for me. I do very vividly remember the April 3, 1974 outbreak as I was 10 years old then and had several friends lose homes on that day.
		Like you, I've been interested in tornadoes and severe weather since I was a kid (I'm your age), and the Elkhart twin tornado photo has been one of my favorites ever since I saw it in a book on tornadoes that I borrowed from the school library in the 8th grade.
