Episode Narrative A large and powerful storm system brought several rounds of severe weather to a large section of the Central United States. The Central Plains were hit hard on Thursday, May 1st, while the Mid-South and Lower Mississippi River Valley were impacted on Friday, May 2nd into the early morning hours of May 3rd.

The tornado was only on the ground between 2 and 3 miles with maximum winds around 85 mph. The tornado did cross into extreme southwest Bolivar County from far northwest Washington County.
