On the morning of May 3, a violent tornado outbreak was evident after a low pressure system with a strong jet stream was in motion for violent tornadoes. Dozens of tornadoes would touch down over a span of a few hours on May 3.

After a supercell formed around 3:30 PM CDT, multiple weak tornadoes touched down before the catastrophic EF5 touched down at 4:39 PM CDT. After tracking for 3 miles, the twister began to gradually strengthen. A barn was struck at EF2 strength, cause severe damage to the building.

Continuing to strengthen, the first 4 fatalities occurred in a mobile home that was completely swept away at high-end EF3 strength. By 5:26 PM CDT, the tornado reached peak strength south of Sand Springs. Due to the size of the tornado and the wind speeds, which reached 285 mph (458 km/h), a tornado emergency was declared for Sand Springs and surrounding areas. Multiple farms vanished as the EF5 completely swept away all buildings, killing 11 in the process. Severe ground scouring also occurred in this area.

Beginning to weaken but staying at EF5 strength, the tornado killed 36 in a neighborhood of well built home. Most of the neighborhood was completely destroyed with some homes only getting struck by the outer bands of the tornado. Another 5 were killed after another house was completely swept away at 6:09 PM CDT.

Continuing to weaken into a high-end EF4, 17 more people were killed when a grocery store was leveled. Ground scouring continued to occur even as the tornado was weak. At a low-end EF3 intensity, the last 3 fatalities occurred at yet another mobile home as the tornado completely leveled the home.

## Aftermath

Because of many violent and destructive tornadoes, governor Kevin Stitt declared a state of emergency and requested to President Trump for federal aid which he approved of the following day. After killing 76, injuring 324, and causing over $3.16 billion in damage, the Sand Springs EF5 cemented itself as one of the most destructive tornadoes in Oklahoma state history.
2018 Ripley, Mississippi Tornado

**2018 Ripley, Mississippi Tornado**

The **2018 Ripley tornado** was a large, violent, deadly and destructive event that occurred April 23 - 25, 2018 tornado outbreak, demolishing much of the town of Ripley in Mississippi in the process of passing through. In total, the tornado caused the deaths of 11 people, the injuries of 112 more, and $260 million in damages. In addition to this, a tornado emergency was also declared for the area, and mobile homes were swept away entirely. It was the worst tornado to ever hit the town, and it took years to rebuild the areas ravaged by the storm.

## Synopsis

The tornado was associated with a larger tornado outbreak, which in addition to this tornado also spawned other powerful tornadoes.

The tornado was spawned from a cyclic high precipitation supercell outside Ripley, Mississippi. At 1335, the large tornado touched down on the outskirts of town, before rapidly intensifying and causing mainly EF4 damage across most of its path. At its peak, the winds were estimated to be near 190 mph, not far off EF5.

At these locations, well built brick homes were levelled, with the less well built ones being swept away entirely. It was also noted that several wooden homes that had hurricane straps on had been ripped from their moorings and swept away,though this was later determined to be buildings that werent properly strapped down, indicating only high EF3 damage at this location as a result.

After passing through Ripley, the tornado continued to produce damage, but only in the EF0 - EF2 range, before finally lifting at 1405, having destroyed much of Ripley as it passed through.

## Tornado emergency

Shortly after the tornado touched down, much of Ripley was placed under a tornado emergency, indicating that "a large tornado is currently on the ground, and heading for central Ripley. Radar indicates violent winds, and a broad debris ball. Don not mess with this tornado.Take cover now, your life depends on it!" Following the passage of the tornado, the emergency was dropped, and damage surveys began, along with rescues and recoveries of dead bodies from the event.

## Seasonal Forecasts

Ahead of and during the season, several national meteorological services and scientific agencies forecast how many named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson scale) will form during a season, and/or how many tropical cyclones will affect a particular country. These agencies include the Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) Consortium of the University College London, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),the Olo Storm Meteorological Center (OSMC) and Colorado State University (CSUC). The forecasts include weekly and monthly changes in significant factors that help determine the number of tropical storms, hurricanes,and major hurricanes within a particular year. On average, an Atlantic hurricane season between 1981 and 2010 contained twelve tropical storms, six hurricanes, and two major hurricanes, with an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index of between 66 and 103 units.

2009 Monteagle-Chattanooga, Tennessee Tornado

**2009 Monteagle-Chattanooga, Tennessee Tornado**

The ***2009 Monteagle-Chattanooga, Tennessee Tornado*** was a deadly, destructive, catastrophic, and costly, EF4 rated tornado that struck Monteagle and Chattanooga, Tennessee on April 16, 2009. In total, 95 people were killed. With over 200 (226 total) confirmed injuries. It was apart of the Tornado Outbreak of April 14-16, 2009.

## Meteorological Synopsis

The event that spawned the deadly twister was forecast in advance by the SPC. A fast-moving cold front from Canada mixed with a warm front from the Gulf and met in the midwestern states in early April 2009. This spawned a long system of thunderstorms. After sweeping across the midwestern states of Oklahoma, Kansas, and parts of Missouri, the storm system moved through the greater south/southeastern states of Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. Kentucky was spared from any damaging tornado. After spinning out over 14 tornadoes in the state of Tennessee alone, the storm system continued to trek forward into the Appalachians. On April 16th, Chattanooga and Monteagle were experiencing very warmer than usual temperatures for early spring. A temperature of 91°F was recorded in Monteagle. This temperature, combined with a very unstable atmosphere and high humidity - caused explosively favorable conditions for "long tracked, severe tornadoes" as stated by the SPC.

The tornado killed over 300 people but in 2000 further analysis showed 397 dead, 1,833 hospitalized.

## History

On May 14, 1937...oddly favorable conditions for thunderstorms was located over the Northeast, the National Weather Center sent out a Special Weather Message at 3:15PM stating "*Lightning and small hail is possible, some damaging winds are also likely. These storms will likely not become very strong.*", however, very strong thunderstorms developed in northeastern Pennsylvania, and a few citizens reported a brief twister in northern New Jersey, the line of strong thunderstorms moved into Connecticut and a small tornado touched down at 4:38PM about 6 miles southwest of the town of Staffordville, Connecticut. The tornado damaged some homes but moved into Massachusetts shortly later, the tornado is believed to have intensified into a F2 twister near Holland, before continuing northeast reaching F3 intensity over Charlton .The large twister was on track to hitting Boston, it barely missed the town of Auburn around 5:01 PM. The tornado then hit F4 intensity in Westborough. The tornado finally became a F5 tornado just north of Framingham, the tornado completely flattened the village of Newton before moving into the Boston area as a F5 tornado at over 2 miles wide, the tornado flattened Boston University before moving over the Charles River and becoming a waterspout, after about 45 seconds or so the tornado moved back on land and moved into downtown Boston as a high-end F4 tornado, much of Boston was obliterated and by 6:12 PM people in western Boston were being pummeled with large hail while climbing out of their shelters. The tornado moved into the main part of Boston as a very high-end F4 tornado before intensifying back into a F5 tornado briefly over the main part of the city, the tornado moved off the coast of the city before moving into East Boston as a F3 tornado, much of East Boston was left destroyed. The tornado then proceeded to move onto the modern day Boston Logan International Airport property before becoming a waterspout again at 6:17 PM, the tornado moved back on shore as a high-end F2 for about 95 seconds before moving off shore and diminishing.

2018 Smithville, Mississippi Tornado

**2018 Smithville, Mississippi Tornado**

The ***2018 Smithville, Mississippi Tornado*** was a large, violent, and multi-vortex EF3-rated tornado hit Smithville, Mississippi and surrounding areas. This EF3 caused 34 fatalities, 198 injuries, and $35 million in damages. The EF3 occurred 7 years and 24 days after an EF5 hit Smithville, leaving 23 dead and 137 injuries from that event. The EF3 had a recorded record width of 2.8 miles.

Even though the tornado had winds speeds at in excess of 295 mph, the NWS office in Jackson stated that even though the tornado had EF5 winds, the worst damage was consistent with high-end EF3 damage. The tornado was apart of an outbreak that caused over 40 other EF3+ tornadoes over a 5 day span.

The tornado first touched down at 12:17 PM CDT 6 miles east of Troy. A house was minorly damaged at EF0 intensity. After traveling for about 30 miles in just 15 minutes, the now EF2 hit Amory, 9 miles southwest of Smithville. As the EF3 with at more than 295 mile winds in a couple sub-vortices neared Smithville, a couple of houses were hit, killing 29 while only causing severe damage. A mobile dopler radar recorded main vortice wind speeds between 150 and 165 mph, other non main vertices were recorded now over 200 mph, indicating not only mainly EF3 winds, other vortices had EF5 intensity, the tornado was quickly dying out.

Another 5 were killed at EF2 intensity when their mobile was completely destroyed. At 12:51 with the record EF3 only 6 minutes before dissipation, the tornado started picking up cars, killing only 2 in the process. At 12:57 after being on the ground for only 40 minutes, the tornado dissipated 6.1 miles west of Splunge.

In all, the EF3 caused 34 fatalities, 198 injuries, and $35 million in damages. The NWS confirmed that the path length was a record 2.8 mile wide tornado. At first, the tornado was given an EF5 rating based on wind speed. After no EF5 damage was found, the tornado was downgraded to an EF3 based on damage. This tornado has been compared to the 2013 El Reno, Oklahoma tornado since that tornado was a then-record 2.6 mile wide EF3 rated with >296 mph winds. Just like this twister, the El Reno tornado was originally given an EF5 before being downgraded to an EF3. The EF3 rating still stands today even though the rating is heavily disputed.

After finding no evidence of EF5 damage due to winds excess of 290 mph, the NWS stated that due to the tornado staying over mostly rural farmland, the worst damage caused was rated high-end EF3. The path reached 18.67 miles and a record 2.8 miles wide.

1903 London, England Tornado

**1903 London, England Tornado**

the ***1903 London, England Tornado*** was a large, and deadly F5 tornado that reportedly caused great loss of life and destruction near the city of London on September 6, 1903.

The damage was described as the worst in the London area since the tornado of 1091, and received a rating of F5 in 2010, roughly equivalent to a T10 or T11.

## Meteorological setup

In late August and early September of 1903, a significant heat wave impacted much of the British Isles and France, and this heat wave continued into September 6.

That afternoon, temperatures in London were around 35-40°C (95-105°F), and extremely muggy conditions were noted. Sheets of rain and thunder were reported coming down in Ascot at 3:35 PM local time, as temperatures had dropped to 15-20°C (60-70°F) in Ascot.

However, muggy conditions and likely wind shear around 5,000 J/kg allowed a probable supercell thunderstorm to spin up a tornado at 3:45 PM, 3 kilometers (2 miles) northeast of Ascot. The tornado crossed modern-day London Road less than a minute after touchdown, and began to grow in size and cause heavy damage to trees. It hit a house at around 3:50 PM, killing 3 people and causing near-F5 damage.

The tornado proceeded through wooded areas, uprooting hundreds, if not thousands of trees, while damaging little amounts of structures. 20-30 hikers were killed in the tornado, and another 40 were feared dead. By the time the tornado exited wooded areas, it was nearly 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) wide, few people spotted the tornado, indicating it was likely rain-wrapped. The tornado was now in residential areas, and was causing F3-F5 damage, a row of houses was completely obliterated, with nearly 100 people dying in one neighborhood alone.

### Runners-Up

Tampa Bay Lightning

The **2020-21 NHL Season** was the 104th season of operation (103rd season of play) of the National Hockey League (NHL). The regular season began on September 28, 2020 and ended on April 8, 2021. The Stanley Cup Playoffs began on April 12, 2021 and ended on June 12, 2021, with the Colorado Avalanche sweeping the Tampa Bay Lightning in four games to win their 44th straight Stanley Cup in franchise history, by far the most in National Hockey League history. In addition, the league added a 32nd team with the expansion franchise Seattle Kraken, who finished third in the Pacific Division and qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Also, this was the last NHL season with 4 rounds of Stanley Cup Playoffs due to the league doubling its number of franchises to 64 teams starting in the 2021-22 NHL season.

## Bracket

In each round, teams compete in a best-of-seven series following a 2–2–1–1–1 format (scores in the bracket indicate the number of games won in each best-of-seven series). The team with home ice advantage plays at home for games one and two (and games five and seven, if necessary), and the other team is at home for games three and four (and game six, if necessary). The top eight teams in each division make the playoffs.

In the First Round, the eight seeded team in each division plays against the division winner from their division. The other series matches the second and seventh place teams from the divisions, the third and sixth place teams from the divisions, and the fourth and fifth place teams from the divisons. In the first two rounds, home ice advantage is awarded to the team with the better seed. Thereafter, it is awarded to the team that had the better regular season record.

## Statistics

### Scoring Leaders

Due to the top 18 players on the scoring leaders board being Avalanche players, the board will have players that lead the league in scoring that aren't on the Avalanche.
2017 Mount Dora, Florida Tornado

**2017 Mount Dora, Florida Tornado**

The ***2017 Mount Dora, Florida Tornado*** was a violent and destructive, EF5-rated tornado that struck Mount Dora, Florida in the afternoon hours of May 23, 2017. In all, 245 people were killed, along with 406 injuries, and $2 billion (2017 USD) in damages.

Initially a weak, pencil-like tornado upon touchdown in Eustis, the funnel rapidly intensified into a violent 3/4-mile-wide multi-vortex storm at around 3:37 pm EDT. The first intense damage occurred six minutes later as a line of 13 homes on Britt road were swept away, and an orchid nursery was demolished as well. The tornado reached its peak width as it struck the Lake and Golf Realty subdivision of Mount Dora as a slow-moving wedge tornado, completely destroying the neighborhood.

The tornado produced extreme ground scouring, as the earth at and around the Lake and Golf Realty subdivision was scoured out to a depth of 22 in (55.88 cm), reducing lush fields of grass and trees to wide expanses of mud. Extensive amounts of asphalt was torn from the roads down to the subgrade in the damage path. Over 1,000 structures were completely destroyed by the tornado and hundreds of vehicles were rendered unrecognizable after being thrown great distances, some more than half a mile. Some of the vehicles were pulverized into many pieces and strewn across fields or the town, and others were simply never found. The vehicles that remained relatively intact were sandblasted and completely caked with mud and grass. Telephone poles in the area were snapped off at the base and splintered, and trees were completely shredded and debarked. Many of the homes in the tornado's path were fairly new and well-constructed and bolted to their foundations, but the tornado left only the concrete slabs, and there was virtually no debris left throughout most of the damage path.

The debris from the destroyed homes was finely granulated into small fragments, and scattered for long distances across the area. The tornado also picked up large amounts of loose soil as it deeply scoured the ground, producing a sandblasting effect on the houses and their occupants. The tornado's slow forward movement combined with its extreme intensity were likely the main factors as to why the damage it produced was so remarkably intense. Overall, were 245 human fatalities and over 400 injuries from this tornado.

2018 Bixby, Oklahoma Tornado

**2018 Bixby, Oklahoma Tornado**

The ***2018 Bixby, Okahoma Tornado*** was a deadly and catastrophic EF5-rated tornado that impacted the suburbs of Tulsa, Broken Arrow and Bixby, Oklahoma in the evening of Tuesday, September 11, 2018. The twister occurred exactly 17 years after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States.

Starting off as a rope tornado after touching down at 6:23 PM CDT, minor roof damage along with the tipping over of trees occurred. EF2 damage then occurred when dozens of mobile homes were flattened, killing 2 near Broken Arrow.

While crossing I-44 as an EF5, multiple mobile radar trucks recorded wind speeds inside multiple vortices between 65 and 274 mph (104 and 440 km/h). At peak strength, the EF5 hit Bixby Central Elementary, destroying the school.

When entering Bixby, 20 were killed when EF3 to EF5 damage was recorded to hundreds of homes, injuring a total of 251. Heading south out of Bixby, another 2 were killed along with 16 injured when 5 homes were destroyed.

Another was injured before the tornado dissipated 22.8 miles south of Bixby at 8:48 PM CDT.

In all, 24 people were killed, 1,969 more were injured, and $5.94 billion (2018 USD) in damages was done. Surveyors concluded with 274 mph winds, the width of the tornado reached 1.6 miles.

Many experts compared this twister to the 1999 Bridge Creek-Moore and 2013 Moore tornado. The twister was also compared to the 2019 Bridge Creek Tornado that would hit Oklahoma 9 months and 5 days later.

As the 53rd confirmed F5/EF5 tornado in 2018 and the 45th in the US, the twister was definitely not the deadliest, but one of the most violent and costliest twisters of the year.

The Bixby EF5 ranks 55th in either highest recorded or estimated wind speed and 12th costliest tornado ever verified. The NWS sent out multiple survey teams to survey the damage. The final rating stood at an EF5 and the path reached 86.31 miles long and 1.6 miles wide.

It continued into a housing addition, demolishing many of the homes there, some remaining as nothing more than a pile of debris. The tornado then tracked across the Sara Bay Country Club gulf course, scouring grass from the ground while doing so. The tornado damaged many businesses that included condos and apartment homes, as well as two 7-Elevens, a bank and a trucking plant as it closely paralleled Whitfield Avenue, causing mostly EF3 damage with some of the buildings being completely destroyed, indicating EF4 damage. A C&M Road Builders facility was struck, where heavy equipment was mangled and thrown considerable distances, some more than 200 yards.
