The most severe weather in the United States has likely been the various F5 and EF5 tornadoes that have struck the country. These tornadoes produce extremely powerful winds than virtually no structure can withstand. In tornadoes this strong, it is often difficult to say that one was more powerful than another. Some candidates for the title might include the Sherman, Texas tornado of 1896, the Tri-State tornado of 1925, The Woodward, Oklahoma tornado of 1947, the Jarrell, Texas tornado of 1997, and the Oklahoma City tornado of 1999.

The deadliest weather event in U.S. history was the Galveston, Texas hurricane of 1900, which killed between 6,000 and 8,000 people. The costliest was Hurricane Katrina in 2005, with a price tage of over $100 billion.

Can there ever be a Day three high risk for severe thunderstorms?

In all likelihood, no. There have only ever been two day 2 high risk outlooks. Issuing a high risk outlook means that the SPC is predicting with a high degree of certainty that there will be a major severe weather outbreak. A day 3 outlook cannot be issued with such certainty.
