2024 Super Outbreak

The 2024 Super Outbreak was the largest, costliest, and third-deadliest tornado outbreak in United States history. The outbreak primarily affected the "Dixie Alley" region of the United States, with additional destructive tornadoes occurring in the Great Lakes region on April 24. The outbreak produced a total of 486 tornadoes in 24 states, with the states of Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee being the most severely affected. April 24 was by far the most active day of the outbreak, producing 312 tornadoes, including eight which were rated EF5, and 22 which were rated EF4.

A total of 531 people were killed by the outbreak, with an additional 29 people killed as a result of powerful straight-line winds, lightning, and flash flooding. Nearly half of the fatalities from the outbreak were the result of three violent tornadoes which caused dozens of deaths in Fultondale, Alabama, Peachtree City and Covington, Georgia, and Seymour, Indiana. Several other tornadoes caused death tolls well into the double digits, particularly in Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.
