An active weather pattern brought multiple days of widespread severe weather across the eastern U.S. from April 6-9, causing significant damage in more than a dozen states. No fatalities were reported. Most damage was directly attributable to large hail – including stones larger than the size of baseballs – and straight-line winds which affected parts of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee. Total economic losses were estimated at nearly USD2.0 billion, with roughly three-quarters of this cost being insured.
A prolific severe weather outbreak swept across parts of the southern and eastern United States from April 10-14, killing at least 38 people and injuring hundreds of others. The outbreak prompted a minimum of 138 confirmed tornado touchdowns from Texas to Maryland in addition to very large hail, damaging straight-line winds, and torrential rains that prompted flash flooding in the Tennessee Valley. At least 15 tornadoes were rated EF3 (12) or EF4 (3). Among the hardest-hit areas came in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina following deadly tornadoes, large hail, and non-tornadic winds topping 100 mph (160 kph). Gusty synoptic winds later led to damage into the Northeast. Total economic and insured losses were expected to each surpass USD1 billion.
Severe thunderstorms prompted tornado touchdowns, large hail, and straight-line winds to areas from Texas to the Carolinas from April 18-20. At least three people were killed. The storms brought further damage to areas affected by a major tornado outbreak just days prior. An EF4 twister was confirmed in southern Mississippi; while other tornadoes were cited in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Total economic and insured losses were each expected to reach into the hundreds of millions (USD).
More severe weather again swept across the Plains, Mississippi Valley, and the Southeast from April 21-24, killing at least seven people and injuring dozens of others. The event prompted damaging convective storms, more than 40 confirmed tornadoes, and flash flooding. Total combined economic losses from these events were expected to minimally reach into the hundreds of millions (USD). Most wind and hail-related damage will be insured.
Widespread severe weather brought further storm damage throughout the Southern U.S. from April 24-26 as more tornado touchdowns, large hail, and straight-line winds were recorded. Parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and the Carolinas were hardest-hit as many residential and commercial properties, plus automobiles, were damaged. Total economic and insured losses were expected to reach into the hundreds of millions (USD).
Another notable severe convective storm outbreak erupted from April 27-29 across central and southern sections of the country. Most damage was attributed to large hail and straight-line winds in portions of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana. Multiple tornado touchdowns and heavy rainfall was also cited. Total aggregate economic and insured losses from the two events were each expected to reach into the hundreds of millions (USD).
