List of United States tornadoes in May 2008

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In May 2008, various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service confirmed 462 tornadoes in the United States. At the time, this was the third most active May on record for tornado activity in the country, only behind 2003 and 2004. Based on the long-term 1991–2020 average, an average May records 268 tornadoes in the United States.[1] The brunt of activity was focused across three significant events,[2] including a tornado outbreak from May 1–2 and tornado outbreak sequences encompassing May 7–11 and May 22–27. The most intense tornado of the month was an EF5 tornado that affected areas near Parkersburg, Iowa. It was the first such tornado in Iowa since June 13, 1976.[3] In all, tornado activity across the United States in May 2008 resulted in 44 deaths and 683 injuries.[4][5] The monetary cost of the May 22–27 tornado activity alone cost $4.2 billion (2008 USD).[6]
