The largest tornado warning ever issued occurred on April 27, 2011, during a severe weather outbreak in the southeastern United States. The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch that covered a vast area, including parts of multiple states, and the warnings were extensive due to the high number of tornadoes that touched down that day, particularly in Alabama. This event produced over 60 tornadoes, including several strong EF4 and EF5 tornadoes, leading to significant destruction and loss of life.

Tornado warnings did not start being issued until the 1950s. Prior to that we did not understand tornadoes well enough to predict them, and forecasters were forbidden from mentioning tornadoes for fear of starting a panic. Even in the modern day a tornado occasionally slips through the cracks. One of the most notable examples came on December 31, 2010 when an EF3 tornado struck the small town of Cincinnati, Arkansas without warning, killing 4 people.
