This has been a project I’ve been planning to work on for a long time, but it took an upgraded EF5 to make me actually do it.
Note that these are only the supercells that produced EF3 or stronger tornadoes. At least five other supercells produced EF2 tornadoes.
And HERE is the map that I worked all afternoon on!
Dashed paths indicate areas where the supercell lost most of its definition but enough of it remained to track its identity.
Detailed information on each supercell follows. In format of:
Storm Letter
Initiation time (in UTC), location.
Dissipation time (in UTC), location (how it dissipated).
