Monday's severe thunderstorms spawned at least a half-dozen tornadoes seen by storm spotters and also produced small hail through much of the Metroplex on Monday.
The twisters and funnel clouds Monday afternoon were weak and, for the most part, struck open country south of the Dallas-Fort Worth.
In Ellis County, five people were reportedly left homeless when a suspected tornado tore the roof from their mobile home in Avalon, said John Patterson, the county's emergency management coordinator.
The people live next the high school in Avalon and took shelter in the school's domed gymnasium. The school sustained roof damage, but the gym was not damaged.
Patterson said six to eight other homes were also damaged.
Multimedia
In Navarro County, a volunteer firefighter reported that a shed blew over in the eastern part of the county. Downed trees and damage to barns and buildings north of Blooming Grove were also reported.
Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant said a barn and a vacant home were destroyed on FM 205 near Stephenville. No injuries were reported.
A funnel formed briefly around midafternoon Monday about 30 miles southwest of Fort Worth, between Cleburne and Glen Rose. It was unclear how long it was on the ground, but spotters reported that it touched down briefly. A thin, rope-like funnel was later seen near Itasca, about 50 miles southwest of Dallas.
By the early afternoon, the storms sparked large hail, severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings across much of North Texas.
Golf ball-sized hail was reported over Glen Rose. Hail reports varied from marble- to tennis ball-sized and were widespread across the Metroplex.
The storms were associated with an atmospheric boundary between moist and dry air and a stationary front that has been oscillating between North Texas and southern Oklahoma.
National Weather Service meteorologist David Huckaby in Fort Worth said the storm was cyclical, meaning that as one end was losing strength, the other end was regenerating. That kept the storm raging all afternoon long until after sunset, when the heat that fueled it was lost.
However, Huckaby said more of the same was expected Tuesday in North Texas.
By Wednesday, quiet weather is expected to return and stay until the end of the work week.
Outside of North Texas, multiple suspected tornadoes were reported in and around Crockett in East Texas at about 9:30 p.m. Widespread damage was reported countywide, but the severity was unclear because many affected areas were without power, Houston County Fire Marshal David Lamb said. Many trees also had been blown down, either by tornadoes or straight-line winds, he said.

Lijkt me ook niet. Ik las net iets van een halve mijl, dat is realistischer (dat is nog bijna een km. breed!).quote:Op dinsdag 26 april 2011 12:48 schreef aloa het volgende:
5 km is wel heel erg breed, dat kan volgens mij niet.
Ik denk dat ik snap waar de verwarring vandaan komt over hoe breed de tornado was, een tornado van een halve mijl breed kan natuurlijk best voor schade zorgen in een straal van 5 km, denk dan aan neerstortend puin, de harde winden eromheen, de inflow, etc. Er staat niet dat de tornado 5 km breed was.quote:Doden door noodweer in Arkansas

LITTLE ROCK - Zeker vijf mensen zijn maandag om het leven gekomen door noodweer in de Amerikaanse staat Arkansas. Dat meldden Amerikaanse media dinsdag.![]()

Vooral het centraal gelegen stadje Vilonia werd zwaar getroffen. Een vermoedelijke tornado trok daar een spoor van vernieling van bijna 5 kilometer breed en 24 kilometer lang.
Volgens de hulpdiensten kwamen daarbij twee mensen om en werden tussen de vijftig en de tachtig woningen vernield. ''De stad is weg'', aldus een inwoner. Op andere plekken werden mensen in hun auto van de weg gespoeld, toen een beek buiten zijn oevers trad.
Noodtoestand
De gouverneur van Arkansas, Mike Beebe, riep in de nacht van maandag op dinsdag de noodtoestand uit. Meer dan honderdduizend mensen zitten zonder elektriciteit. Enkele tientallen mensen zijn nog vermist, maar de autoriteiten vermoeden dat de meesten van hen zich nog niet hebben kunnen melden.

Die van Greensburg (aantal jaar terug) was volgens mij 800 meter breed. Veel breder worden ze volgens mij niet.quote:Op dinsdag 26 april 2011 14:30 schreef Burnie88 het volgende:

Breedste tornado ooit was geloof ik 4 kilometer. Moment even zoeken naar stukjequote:Op dinsdag 26 april 2011 15:02 schreef aloa het volgende:

quote:The widest tornado (defined as damage path, not condensation/debris cloud or radar measurements) on record is the Wilber - Hallam, Nebraska tornado during the outbreak of May 22, 2004, with a width of 2.5 miles (4 km) at its peak.[14]
The widest tornado as measured by actual radar wind measurements was the Mulhall (1999) tornado in northern Oklahoma which occurred during the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak. The diameter of the maximum winds (over 110 metres per second (250 mph)) was over 1600 m as measured by a DOW radar. Although the tornado passed largely over rural terrain, the width of the wind swath capable of producing damage was as wide as 4 miles (7 km), making the actual wind field of the Mulhall tornado likely twice as wide as that of the Hallam tornado (the wind field of which was not measured), even though the Hallam tornado resulted in a wider damage path.
Dat is dus het record, dan lijkt het me veilig om aan te nemen dat die in Vilonia niet 5 km was.quote:Op dinsdag 26 april 2011 15:04 schreef meteo-online het volgende:

Edit:
What was the largest tornado ever recorded in the US in terms of width of path?
A tornado which affected Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004 was at one point 2.5 miles (4 km) wide at the ground
