Tornadoes of April 27, 2011: The Philadelphia, MS EF5

Of the many tornadoes which touched down in the April 27, 2011 afternoon super outbreak, the Philadelphia, MS EF5 tornado was undoubtedly one of the most intense. Leaving behind trenches in the ground up to 2 feet deep, the sheer strength of this storm ensured it would not be forgotten.

From Wikipedia: During the afternoon of April 27, 2011, a violent EF5 tornado touched down in eastern Mississippi, killing three people. Part of the historic 2011 Super Outbreak, the largest tornado outbreak on record, this was the first of four EF5 tornadoes to touch down that day and the first such storm in Mississippi since the 1966 Candlestick Park tornado. While on the ground for 30 minutes, it traveled along a 28.28-mile (45.51 km) path through four counties, leaving behind three deaths, eight injuries, and $1.1 million in damage.
