June 3rd, 1980. This event is commonly referred to as "The Night of The Twisters" and even inspired a movie of the same name. It took place in Grand Island, NE.
This has to be one of the most fascinating tornado events that I have ever researched.

Correct. I remember when they made a TV movie about this back in the '90s.

Alright here goes, you may need to dig deep to find this one.
- One of the most widespread tornado outbreaks on record.
- Strongest tornado was estimated to be an F4 and possibly was an F5.
- Tornado count proposed to be well into the double digits.
- Fatalities unknown but estimates are as high as the low thousands.
- Took place east of the Mississippi and lasted over 10 hours.
- Many facts and and numbers of this event, such as actual number of deaths and tornadoes, remain a mystery.

Correct! You must either know your tornado outbreak history or how to use Google really well.

The April 4th, 1981, West Bend, WI tornado.

Correct......
This was one of the most unsual events in meterology as the tornado developed from a collapsing storm that grew only to 26,000 feet and a weak level 3 bow echo was detected on radar in Nennah.
The storm did not show the classic features of a severe storm let alone a tornado; a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for the area that only mentioned a confirmed tornado touchdown. However because no tornado warning was issued for the storm, local police failed to activate the siren.
You're up Scott.
