Tornadoes of 2014 *CD*

This tornado year was very unusual in terms of meteorology and timings. There were a few outbreaks in the winter, two in the spring, including one particuarily deadly tornado in April, but at least nine outbreaks occurred during the summertime. During autumn seasons, only two outbreaks, but one very large outbreak affected multiple states between 17th and 28th October, forming at least 205 tornadoes between that 12-day period itself. Multiple very large outbreaks also occurred, especially in June and July, as any outbreaks in either of those two months featured at least 35 twisters and one fatality.

January
Only 13 tornadoes were reported in January, all of which were confirmed.

4th January
Five of the 13 tornadoes occurred this day. All of which were EF0s, 4 in the Carolinas and one in Georgia. No fatalities were claimed. However, three people were injured when a mobile home was damaged by an EF0 in downtown Macon, Georgia.

10th-11th January
Seven twisters were confirmed in this 2-day outbreak. Five tornadoes were EF0, but there was one particularily dangerous tornado in the Creekside Estates mobile home park in North Carolina on 11th January at around 3:30 AM. This tornado demolished 27 mobile homes, left 44 damaged, killed two people, and left at least 35 others injured. The Concord Methodist United Church also had sustained severe roof damage, as the tornado formed just besides a small hill, damaged a small house, jumped the hill, as two suburban homes near the mobile home park also had minor damage because they weren't directly hit. A Tryonota Fire Department was also severely damaged, as the elementary school nearby almost entirely collapsed. The twister died out after tracking 2.9 miles, killing two people, leaving 39 others injured, four injuries in automobiles, and causing about $1,100,000 in damages. An EF1 also hit the same area, damaged 11 mobile homes, but directly hit 14 suburban homes, damaging all of them and leaving one destroyed, as two mobile homes were destroyed. The tornado left no fatalities but six injuries in its short mile-long path, with about $500,000 worth of damage.
