  • In early-May 2007, a significant tornado outbreak affected the Central United States. Over a three-day period from May 4–6, a total of 132 tornadoes touched down across seven states. The most destructive events took place on May 4 when an intense supercell thunderstorm produced a family of 20 tornadoes in central Kansas, one of which inflicted EF5 damage across the small town of Greensburg (pop: ~1,500). Approximately 95 percent of the town was damaged or destroyed and 11 people died. The event was precipitated by an upper-level trough along the Utah–Nebraska border with three surface boundaries extending across Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. A dry line became established over Kansas, Texas, and the Oklahoma Panhandle late on May 4 and became the focal point for extensive severe thunderstorm development. Twenty-five tornadoes touched down across South Dakota on May 5, including one EF3 tornado and five EF2 tornadoes. Activity on May 6 consisted of brief, weak tornadoes over rural areas in the Plains region. Throughout the three-day outbreak, the tornadoes killed 14 people, injured 90, and inflicted $264.7 million in damage. (en)
