There were several major tornado outbreaks in the US in April 2011, but you are most likely referring to the catastrophic outbreak of April 25-28 with most of the damage on April 27. Reliable sources are hard to come by. One article states that approximately 6,200 homes were destroyed in Alabama alone. Alabama suffered about $4.3 billion of the approximately $4.8 billion in damage from the outbreak. If we assume all of these figures are accurate and that the ratio of cost to homes destroyed remains about the same, then we can arrive at a very rough estimate of about 6,900 homes destroyed.
