The 2011 Hackleburg–Phil Campbell tornado was a large, long-lived, and devastating EF5 tornado that impacted several towns in rural northern Alabama before tearing through the northern suburbs of Huntsville on the afternoon and early evening of April 27, 2011. It was the deadliest tornado of the 2011 Super Outbreak, the largest tornado outbreak in United States history. The second of four EF5 tornadoes to touch down on April 27 (along with Philadelphia, Smithville, and Rainsville), the tornado reached a maximum width of 1.25 miles. It killed 72 injured 145. It accrued a mind blowing 1.3 Billion in damage making it the 7th costliest of all time!
