10 years the great April 1998

April 3rd 1998- Friday a great day to get off esp if you spring break. This was a day for everyone to get excited and get that good week of spring break off. Severe storms quickly fired in the unstable atmosphere. Most of TN was effected and some hail got up in Trigg and Christian county KY.

APril 8th 1998- It was several years to this date. The time came a day everyone in the Mid and Deep South to remeber. Damaging Winds, F2-F5 tornadoes, Large Hail touched down and wrecked havoc. B-Ham alabama got hit by an f-5 Tornado. Hail and WInd were widespread in West KY. Manchester TN area got hit by a F1 tornado.

April 13th 1998- This was the day before looking at the big 15th/16th tornado outbreak. Severe storms shot up in West KY . Graves County got hit by an F-1 near the Graves County Sheriff post. Hail was up to quarter and golfball hail.

APril 15th/16th 1998- And first timeand only 2nd time to present time this years 10th/11th system will be interesting that somearea of West KY had a High Risk that ngiht and SOuthern part of West KY that day the 16th. The ngihtime event on the 15th didnt quite play out even a supercell proudced F3/F4 tornadoes in NE AK and West TN that night. The 16th was a day to remeber in SOuthern KY and Mid TN not did West Ky have some big time flooding issues. It was a day of the big tornadoes. F3 Nashville tornado and F5 Lawrence County TN tornadoes will be remebered for there impact across Mid Tn. Downbursts, Very LArge Hail was occuring from a very intense supercell moving thu the Hokinsville, Todd county area into Bowling Green it later produced an F3 Tornado of its own.

April 27th and 30th produced isoalted hail and wind across West Ky and areas of TN also.

But 4 systems with tornadic pot hit the area this April 1998 a truely amazing month.
