A strong low pressure system pulled warm, very moist air off the Gulf of Mexico. This collided with cool dry air on the back of the storm. The collision resulted in the formation of very powerful thunderstorms. Wind shear was also present, causing many of these thunderstorms to become tornadic supercells.
There is no rating system for tornado outbreaks, but there is for individual tornadoes.

The scale ranges from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest. The Super Tuesday outbreak produced 86 tornadoes with ratings ranging from EF0 to EF4.
The Super Tuesday tornado outbreak of 2008 killed 58 people.
The duration of Enigma tornado outbreak is 15 hours.
