Most supercells do not kill, and those that do kill rarely kill more than a few. The main threat for a supercell is the potential for tornadoes, and a supercell can produce multiple tornadoes in succession in what is called a tornado family, which can, in rare cases, kill dozens. In recent years one tornado family on April 27, 2011 killed 87 people in 3 killer tornadoes, and another on the same day killed 69 people in 6 tornadoes. On May 22, 2011 a supercell killed 158 people, all from a single tornado.
