Christmas Day tornadoes

In 1982, my family and I spent a Christmas Eve night in northeastern Arkansas hiding out in the bathroom as tornado sirens blared and numerous tornadoes descended on the state. The closest one got to our house was 10 miles, but it made for a frightening night.

Florida experienced at least 4 Christmas Day tornadoes with widespread damage. Here is an article from the Tampa Tribune on the weather factors leading to the destruction.
