About: Tornado outbreak of May 2–4, 2021

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A large tornado outbreak of mostly weak tornadoes impacted the Southeastern United States and Central Plains. It began on May 2, predominantly in Mississippi, where around a dozen mostly weak tornadoes occurred. Several towns and cities sustained considerable damage, especially Tupelo, Mississippi, where a tornado emergency was issued for a nocturnal EF1 wedge tornado. Earlier, a large tornado, rated high-end EF1, ripped through areas southeast of Yazoo City, following a similar path to the deadly EF4 tornado from April 24, 2010. In Nebraska, multiple landspout tornadoes were reported, including an EF0 that damaged a storage facility in Aurora. Two EF1 tornadoes caused damage in suburban areas west of Atlanta, while two non-tornadic fatalities occurred in the area due to falling trees. A l

  • A large tornado outbreak of mostly weak tornadoes impacted the Southeastern United States and Central Plains. It began on May 2, predominantly in Mississippi, where around a dozen mostly weak tornadoes occurred. Several towns and cities sustained considerable damage, especially Tupelo, Mississippi, where a tornado emergency was issued for a nocturnal EF1 wedge tornado. Earlier, a large tornado, rated high-end EF1, ripped through areas southeast of Yazoo City, following a similar path to the deadly EF4 tornado from April 24, 2010. In Nebraska, multiple landspout tornadoes were reported, including an EF0 that damaged a storage facility in Aurora. Two EF1 tornadoes caused damage in suburban areas west of Atlanta, while two non-tornadic fatalities occurred in the area due to falling trees. A large, radar-confirmed EF2 tornado prompted multiple PDS tornado warnings near Abbeville and Greenwood, South Carolina, damaging multiple homes and downing numerous trees. An EF1 tornado damaged multiple buildings in Ranson, West Virginia, injuring one person. Southwest of Dallas, there were multiple tornado warnings and several tornadoes touched down, including one that inflicted major damage to a house near Blum, Texas and was rated high-end EF2. Eight more injuries occurred near Waxahachie, Texas when another EF2 tornado flipped vehicles on I-35E and caused significant to structures in the area. Severe weather activity continued into May 4, with numerous additional weak tornado touching down. Areas near San Antonio were pounded by large hail, including a hailstone that measured 5.50 inches (14.0 cm) in diameter in China Grove, Texas. This occurred just a week after another hailstorm affected the same area. The storms later organized into a massive squall line, producing widespread wind damage and several weak tornadoes. Overall, 97 tornadoes were confirmed. There were also four non-tornadic fatalities – two in Georgia, one in Tennessee and one in Virginia. (en)
