From May 4 to May 6, 2007, 132 tornadoes touched down across seven states in the Central United States. Collectively, the tornadoes killed 14 people, injured 90 others, and left behind $264.7 million in damage. The most destructive events took place on May 4, when an intense supercell thunderstorm produced a family of 22 tornadoes in central Kansas, one of which inflicted EF5 damage across the small town of Greensburg (aftermath pictured). Ninety-two tornadoes touched down across the country on May 5, with twenty-five in South Dakota, including one EF3 tornado and five EF2 tornadoes. Activity subsided on May 6, with only brief, weak tornadoes over rural areas in the Plains region. (Full list...)
