In the afternoon, a powerful weather system collided with warm, moist air over Texas, resulting in a devastating tornado that struck Houston. The tornado tore through neighborhoods, leaving destruction in its wake and uprooting homes and businesses. This event was notable not only for the damage it caused in Houston but also for the larger pattern of severe weather that followed. Over the next two days, meteorologists documented more than 100 tornadoes across various states, making it the most significant tornado outbreak recorded in the United States during November. Tornado activity was reported in places such as Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, creating an extensive path of destruction across the southeastern U.S. The severe weather was driven by a combination of atmospheric factors, including substantial instability and upper-level wind patterns that provided ideal conditions for tornadic development. The storms were particularly severe as they occurred in late fall when tornadoes are less common, surprising many residents and meteorologists alike.
