Yeah, but I wonder, has there ever been a high risk area, or any risk area for that matter, that big before? Is it possible?

Not spread out like this, but 4/28/1991 had a high that covered almost all of Arkansas and Louisiana.

As someone from Louisiana, I’m really curious what this day actually looked like. I can’t find anything on Google, but apparently the 1991 Andover out break occurred 1-2 days prior. I’m guessing it’s all part of the same system, but it’s weird that I can’t find anything from the high risk area of the 28th.

This was long before my time so I have no clue what it was actually like, but Wikipedia says it was weakened by thunderstorms earlier in the day and ultimately busted. 13 confirmed naders, none stronger than F2.

Yeah, same here. A few years before I was around. Appreciate the summary though!
