The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925 was very dangerous, as it was a very large, violent, and fast moving tornado that was difficult to recognize because of the low cloud base. Occurring in a time before there were tornado warnings, this tornado claimed 695 lives, making it the deadliest tornado in U.S. history.
Another one was the Waco, Texas tornado of May 11, 1953. It didn't move as fast as the Tri-State tornado, but it was of similar strength and was surrounded by rain, which made it impossible to see to the naked eye. With 114 deaths this tornado was tied as the deadliest in Texas history.
The Hackleburg, Alabama tornado of April 27, 2011 had some similarities to the Tri-State tornado. This fast moving tornado traveled at 60 mph and was, at times, over a mile wide. Despite warnings this tornado killed 72 people, making it the deadliest tornado in Alabama history.
The Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011 moved at about average speed, but it developed and strengthened extremely quickly, reaching EF4 strength only 4 minutes after touching down and EF5 strength not long after. Despite warnings this tornado killed 158 people, making the deadliest U.S. tornado since 1947.
