December 10-11, 2021 Tornado Outbreak
One of the worst tornado outbreaks ever recorded in the United States struck the Midwest, Ohio Valley, and Tennessee Valley from the evening hours on December 10 into the morning hours on December 11, 2021. What made this tornado outbreak even more unusual was that it occurred in the month of December, and is easily the worst tornado outbreak ever during that month. Dozens of tornadoes affected Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama, killing 87 people and injuring dozens of others. Across Middle Tennessee, a total of 16 tornadoes were determined to have touched down - four EF-2 tornadoes, five EF-1 tornadoes, and seven EF-0 tornadoes - making this the 5th largest tornado outbreak on record in Middle Tennessee. These tornadoes injured 8 people across Middle Tennessee and caused millions of dollars in property and tree damage in many counties. Several of the tornadoes were also reanalyzed in March 2023 based on newly available high resolution satellite imagery, with their ratings, path lengths, and path widths updated. These tornadoes, combined with the 5 tornadoes that occurred just a few days earlier across Middle Tennessee on December 6, 2021, set a new record for the number of tornadoes during the month of December Here are some December Tornado Stats:
In addition to the tornadoes, widespread damaging straight-line winds also affected much of Middle Tennessee. Particularly hard hit were the southeastern sections of the Nashville Metro area, including Brentwood, Crieve Hall, Antioch, La Vergne, and the Nashville International Airport Area, where numerous buildings suffered roof damage and dozens of trees were blown down. A wind gust of 78 mph was measured at the Nashville International Airport, which is the 3rd highest wind gust ever recorded at the airport.
