2018-04-22 EVENT: LA/MS/AL/FL

[Dan Robinson]

Possibly the most prolific tornado event of the season so far occurred yesterday (Sunday the 22nd) along the Gulf Coast.

The following are some videos (I have done my best to find either the originals or at least properly permissioned copies):

Most prolific in what way? Visual documentation, possibly, but March 19th, April 3rd, April 6th, and April 13/14/15 have all produced many more and more intense tornadoes than yesterday.

From a chasing perspective. Judging from the high number of videos of separate events, it seems this produced a remarkable number of highly visible tornadoes compared to anything so far.
