Middle Tennessee Outbreak of May 18, 1995

You are correct Mr. Mojito!!!!,

The two F4s were in Anderson Hills, AL and Ethridge, TN; the Ethridge tornado was featured in the The Weather Channel Video Tornadoes '95. The supercell from that tornado later produced an F3 tornado in Crossville, TN my hometown.

1. This one started as a thunderstorm complex in Northwest Kansas.
2. 39 tornadoes
3. Lasted approx 15 hours and 28 minutes
4. Effected the Northwest Corner of North Carolina

-This late fall outbreak was centered on a very large city.
-At one point there were three cells with tubes on the ground simultaneously in the metro area.
-A large F2 tornado passed right through the middle of the city.
-In one of the scariest near misses ever by a violent tornado in a major metro area, a 3/4 mile-wide F4 hit the outer suburbs.
-Amazingly, there were ZERO fatalities.

EDIT: I see you said late fall, so I'm probably wrong.

 

[Andrew de la Garza]

-It took place in a Tornado Alley state, but it happened in an unlikely location outside of the actual Alley.
-It was the subject of an article by a well known meteorologist and chaser who is one of Stormtrack's old school contributors.
-That article is still posted somewhere on this site.
