April 20, 2004 "Surprise" Tornado Outbreak

Today is the eight year anniversary of the April 20, 2004 tornado outbreak.  It is hard to believe it has been that long.  Simply put, it remains one of the most poorly forecasted severe weather events I have ever seen.  Thankfully no lives were lost in Indiana but that was not the case in other areas.  You can view an excellent writeup on this event here

Also, be sure to check out the photo gallery, which contains several pictures from this event.
