DeutschList of United States tornadoes in April 2020
In April 2020, various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service confirmed 267 tornadoes in the United States, indicating significantly above-average activity for the month. Based on the 1991–2010 averaging period, 155 tornadoes occur across the country during April.[1] While the first three months of a year commonly feature tornadic activity across the Southeastern United States in close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, this risk area expands to include the U.S. Midwest and U.S. Southern Great Plains in April, maximized in the states of Texas and Oklahoma.[2] This expansion comes as powerful winter-like systems overlap with an increasingly warm and humid airmass from the Gulf of Mexico.[3]
In 2020, several distinct severe weather events contributed to above-average activity. The first outbreak came from April 7–9, when 31 generally weak tornadoes were recorded across the Midwestern United States and Northeast, especially in Ohio. On Easter weekend, a widespread tornado outbreak featuring several significant to violent tornadoes occurred across much of the Southeast, with 141 tornado confirmations. Tornadoes inflicted 12 deaths in Mississippi, 3 deaths in Tennessee, 8 deaths in Georgia, and 9 deaths in South Carolina. The outbreak prompted 141 tornado warnings in a 24-hour period, the most in one day since the tornado outbreak of March 2–3, 2012.[4] It registered as the sixth-largest tornado event on record in North Carolina,[5] ranked as the second deadliest outbreak on record in South Carolina, and had the highest number of strong (EF2+) tornadoes in a single day on record in South Carolina.[6] From April 21–23, another outbreak of 52 tornadoes across the Southeast caused six deaths. Total tornado activity in the United States caused 40 deaths in April 2020.

It first touched down along MS 48 in Walthall County and quickly strengthened to high-end EF1 intensity. Significant tree damage and minor damage to a few homes was observed in this area. After crossing into Marion County, the tornado reached EF3 intensity, partially debarking trees and obliterating a mobile home. A small area of low-end EF4 damage occurred nearby as an anchor-bolted home was completely leveled, leaving behind a mostly bare foundation slab and bent anchor bolts. A higher rating was not assigned because a considerable amount of debris remained piled on a portion of the home's foundation. Many other homes throughout this segment of the path sustained varying degrees of roof and structural damage, and a few sustained roof and exterior wall loss. Several mobile homes, barns, and sheds were heavily damaged or destroyed as well. The tornado maintained EF2 strength across Marion County, with a church and the nearby pastor's home sustaining major roof damage. Behind this house, a 40 ft (12 m) shed was blown a few feet off its foundation and destroyed. Several headstones in a cemetery were knocked over in this area, a metal fire department building was destroyed, and the one fatality occurred in a nearby mobile home. The tornado continued producing EF0 and EF1 damage along the remainder of the path, passing just north of Purvis and continuing to the southeast of Hattiesburg.[196] most of which was minor to moderate roof damage from wind or fallen trees. A camping area on the north side of Glenn Walker Lake was impacted, and one person was injured by a tree falling on a truck. The tornado continued producing minor damage into Perry County before dissipating. Numerous wooden power poles were snapped, and thousands of trees were snapped or uprooted along the path, including some that were partially debarked. The tornado became the third violent tornado in the area in one week, as two EF4 tornadoes struck near Bassfield in the 2020 Easter tornado outbreak.[197] |
