#OTDwx: A winter tornado outbreak like no other, occurred last year. A Moderate Risk was put up for the Mid MS Valley area as the environment was ripe for intense tornadoes. Many of the tornadoes deserve to be mentioned, including the Monette EF4, Defiance EF3 (1/4) 
(2/4) Edwardsville EF3, Bowling Green EF3, & most infamous, the Mayfield long tracked EF4. The Monette EF4 was the Quad-state supercell that soon spawned the longer tracked EF4 in KY. This destroyed multiple buildings including a nursing home. The Defiance EF3 quickly grew & hit
(3/4) a 100 year old home & NWS St. Louis had to briefly take cover. In Edwardsville, an EF3 destroyed an Amazon warehouse, killing people & eventually led to a lawsuit. The Bowling Green EF3 was a nightmare that killed several overnight. And the Mayfield EF4 tracked for miles on
(4/4) end & became the deadliest tornado worldwide since 2016. Many were impacted from Cayce to Bremen, including folks in a Candle Factory. Overall this storm system killed 95, spawned 71 tornadoes including 8 EF3+ & causing ~$4B in damages & many are recovering still #wxhistory
