The tornado deaths from this event alone outnumber the count from the previous two years over the entire United States.
Damage from a tornado that killed at least 23 people in Beauregard, Ala., on March 4. By Matthew Cappucci March 4 at 12:40 PM Storms erupted over the Southeast on Sunday, spawning dozens of tornadoes that proved both destructive and deadly. Twenty-three people have been confirmed dead, a number that may rise as recovery operations continue Monday.
— Capital Weather Gang March 3, 2019 The region struck by the twisters sat in a volatile zone on the northern fringe of the warm and humid air, right up against the leading edge of the bitter Arctic chill. The strongest storm of the day, responsible for the 23 fatalities, struck Lee County, Ala., around 2 p.m., tracking 30 miles east to north of Columbus, Ga., before dissipating.
Radar scans showed tornadic debris carried to an astounding 18,000 feet. That combined with the observed forest damage may indicate 170+ mph winds commensurate with the EF-4 range.
