# Casualties of the 2011 Super Outbreak

The 2011 Super Outbreak, which took place across the Southern United States from April 25–28, 2011, was the largest and third-deadliest tornado outbreak in United States history, with 359 tornadoes resulting in the deaths of at least 324 people, the majority of whom lived in the state of Alabama. The amount of casualties produced by tornadoes during the outbreak was studied intensively in the years following. A study conducted by the Center for Disease Control found that the majority of fatalities were a result of traumatic injury. The study also found that a lack of adequate sheltering within a building was a contributing factor to the high death toll.

## Fatalities

Fatalities during the outbreak by U.S. state :
| State | April 25 | April 26 | April 27 | April 28 | Total |
| Alabama | 0 | 0 | 212 | 20 | 232 |
| Arkansas | 5 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 8 |
| Georgia | 0 | 0 | 7 | 8 | 15 |
| Mississippi | 0 | 1 | 32 | 1 | 34 |
| Tennessee | 0 | 0 | 19 | 11 | 30 |
| Total | 5 | 2 | 271 | 39 | ~317 |
Although the exact number of people killed during the outbreak is a source of debate, the generally accepted number is in the 300-350 range. 271 of those deaths occurred on April 27, the date of peak activity.

### Height of death toll

The high number of fatalities on April 27 was a number that would be studied in detail following the event. Despite 92 tornado warnings being issued for Alabama, 271 people were killed, many in poorly-built homes. In a study of people killed during the outbreak published by the American Journal of Public Health, it was determined that only 102, or 41.3%, out of the 247 victims studied received a warning. It was determined that the majority of fatalities during the outbreak happened because of a lack of adequate community shelters in rural communities throughout Alabama.

| John Doe | Unknown | Pisgah, AL | April 27 | (1 death) – A weak, but long-tracked tornado touched down near Section and tracked roughly along Highway 71 through Dutton, just south of Pisgah, and into DeKalb County south of Higdon, where it lifted shortly thereafter. Many trees were downed, which brought down power lines and knocked out power, and a mobile home was destroyed. The fatality occurred in the Pisgah area. A violent EF4 tornado struck the same area later that day, making the path of this tornado hard to distinguish from that tornado's path. Several eyewitness accounts of the morning damage assisted the storm surveyors in separating the two paths. |

| Loyd Winford Harris | 68 | Simcoe, AL | April 27 | 2011 Cullman–Arab tornado (6 deaths) – On the afternoon of April 27, a large, long-tracked, and powerful multi-vortex tornado moved across north-central Alabama, in the U.S., striking numerous towns along its 47-mile (76 km) track, including Cullman, Fairview, Arab and Ruth. The tornado killed 6, and injured 48 more. It was the second violent tornado of the outbreak, touching down after the Philadelphia, Mississippi tornado. The tornado first touched down in Cullman County before entering the city limits of Cullman, where EF4 damage was recorded to numerous buildings, including a large church in the downtown area. The tornado then left the Cullman area, moving through Fairview and heavily damaging multiple buildings located in the town. As the tornado tracked through Morgan and Marshall counties, it struck several smaller villages, including Ruth, where heavy damage was documented. Shortly after crossing the Tennessee River, the tornado dissipated. The tornado devastated downtown Cullman, inflicting an estimated $13.5 million (2011 USD) to the city and causing widespread power outages throughout Cullman County. The tornado had maximum estimated windspeeds of 190 miles per hour (310 km/h), classifying it as violent. Several buildings, many made of brick, in downtown Cullman were leveled by these winds, and the tornado directly preceded several other violent tornadoes that would touch down shortly after, including the Hackleburg–Phil Campbell tornado 20 minutes before the Cullman tornado dissipated. |

| Bridgett Brisbois | 34 | Hackleburg, AL | April 27 | 2011 Hackleburg–Phil Campbell tornado (72 deaths) – In the afternoon hours of April 27, this large, long-lived, and devastating EF5 tornado impacted several towns in rural northern Alabama before tearing through the northern suburbs of Huntsville. It was the deadliest tornado of the 2011 Super Outbreak, the largest tornado outbreak in United States history. The second of four EF5 tornadoes to touch down on April 27, along with the Philadelphia, MS, Smithville, MS, and Rainsville, AL tornadoes; the tornado reached a maximum width of 1.25 miles (2.01 km) and was estimated to have had peak winds of 210 mph (340 km/h). The tornado first touched down at 3:05 p.m. CDT (2005 UTC) southwest of Hamilton, Alabama, before quickly becoming violent and reaching EF5 intensity as it approached and struck Hackleburg, destroying a large portion of the town. The tornado maintained EF5 intensity as it struck Phil Campbell, again sweeping numerous homes off foundations, and then peaking in intensity and width shortly afterwards as it entered more rural areas. It weakened somewhat thereafter but re-strengthened as it hit Tanner (previously hit by two F5 tornadoes in the 1974 Super Outbreak). It weakened after hitting Tanner and lifted near Harvest. In total, the tornado was on the ground for well over two hours, making it the second-longest lived tornado of the outbreak. Hundreds of homes were either destroyed or reduced to foundations as a result of the tornado. In total, this tornado killed 72 people, all in Alabama.

| Racher Renee Tabor | 37 | Harvest, AL | April 27 | 2011 Hackleburg–Phil Campbell tornado (72 deaths) – In the afternoon hours of April 27, this large, long-lived, and devastating EF5 tornado impacted several towns in rural northern Alabama before tearing through the northern suburbs of Huntsville. It was the deadliest tornado of the 2011 Super Outbreak, the largest tornado outbreak in United States history. The second of four EF5 tornadoes to touch down on April 27, along with the Philadelphia, MS, Smithville, MS, and Rainsville, AL tornadoes; the tornado reached a maximum width of 1.25 miles (2.01 km) and was estimated to have had peak winds of 210 mph (340 km/h). The tornado first touched down at 3:05 p.m. CDT (2005 UTC) southwest of Hamilton, Alabama, before quickly becoming violent and reaching EF5 intensity as it approached and struck Hackleburg, destroying a large portion of the town. The tornado maintained EF5 intensity as it struck Phil Campbell, again sweeping numerous homes off foundations, and then peaking in intensity and width shortly afterwards as it entered more rural areas. It weakened somewhat thereafter but re-strengthened as it hit Tanner (previously hit by two F5 tornadoes in the 1974 Super Outbreak). It weakened after hitting Tanner and lifted near Harvest. In total, the tornado was on the ground for well over two hours, making it the second-longest lived tornado of the outbreak. Hundreds of homes were either destroyed or reduced to foundations as a result of the tornado. In total, this tornado killed 72 people, all in Alabama. It was the single deadliest tornado of the outbreak. |
