From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of all tornadoes that were confirmed by local offices of the National Weather Service in the United States in November and December 2011. Based on the 1991–2010 averaging period, 58 tornadoes occur across the United States throughout November, while 24 more occur in December.[1]
Similar to the prior months, November and December remained slightly below average with 46 and 15 tornadoes respectively. However, a couple days in November saw heightened periods of activity. Oklahoma recorded its first violent November tornado since modern records began in 1950, an EF4 in Tillman County on November 7. Twenty tornadoes struck the South on November 16, including a long-track EF2 tornado in parts of Alabama and Georgia and two additional EF2 tornadoes that resulted in five fatalities in the Carolinas. December activity was confined to three consecutive days towards the end of the month, the highlight being a 13-tornado event primarily in Alabama and Georgia on December 22. Floyd County, Georgia was struck by EF2 and EF3 tornadoes, both of which caused considerable damage.
