November 6, 2005 Evansville Tornado

Although there was only one tornado on this date, it was a big one.  This is an ultimate example a tornado hitting a bad place at a bad time - namely, a mobile home park in the wee hours of the morning. This tornado killed 24, injured over 230, and was on the ground for 41 miles as it tracked through Vanderburgh, Warrick, and Spencer counties.  It was deemed a high end F3 and was about a quarter mile wide. This was the deadliest tornado to hit the state in decades.
