One of the most destructive tornado outbreaks for early March raked across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys Friday March 2.
According to our Tornado Expert Dr. Greg Forbes, Friday's outbreak has the potential to be the largest on record for the month of March. The existing record for this month is 74 tornadoes in the outbreak of March 11-13, 2006.
As of Saturday morning, there were around 95 reports of tornadoes in at least 10 states from Mississippi to Ohio. Keep in mind tornado reports will be consolidated when damage surveys are done, so these numbers will likely be revised downward.
The most extreme tornado in recorded history was the Tri-State Tornado, which roared through parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana on March 18, 1925. It was likely an F5, though tornadoes were not ranked on any scale in that era. It holds records for longest path length (219 miles, 352 km), longest duration (about 3.5 hours), and fastest forward speed for a significant tornado (73 mph, 117 km/h) anywhere on earth. In addition it is the deadliest single tornado in United States history (695 dead)
The largest tornado outbreak ever recorded, and popularly known as the 2011 Super Outbreak, occurred from April 25 to 28, 2011....359 tornadoes were confirmed by the National Weather Service in 21 states...Four of the tornadoes were destructive enough to be rated EF5... That death toll includes 322 tornado-related deaths across six states.

Kosair representatives called authorities in the devastated areas of Indiana and the search for her parents went out on television broadcasts. The hospital was able to positively identify the family related to the girl, but did not say if it was the parents of the 2-year-old girl.
The hospital could not confirm the parents’ condition.
