November 15th - 16th 1987

[W. Grant Dade]

I am looking for any information on the tornado outbreak on 11/15/-11/16 1987. I was living in GA at the time and personally have no information on this event. So far it looks as though there were 50 tornadoes over a 48 hour period. If anyone here has accounts of images from this event I would love to see them. This was not only and East TX event but tornadoes occurred from Oklahoma to Mississippi. Thanks in advance for your help. A wrote a blog article today on what looks like to have occurred over East Texas.

Interesting that for three years in a row major tornado events occurred on 11/15.

http://www.spc.nssl.noaa.gov/climo/online/sp3/plot.php just plug in the dates and times you are looking for...plots out all the severe reports

http://www4.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-win/wwcgi.dll?wwevent~storms NCDC sight lists the severe reports from that day, although I see most of the reports don't have a description to go along with them.

If you can find old copies of Storm data, that will have more descriptive accounts of the events. I remember that issue and there were photos to go along with them.
