The deadliest tornado of the year hit the Brahmanbaria district of Bangladesh on March 22, killing 31 and injuring over 500. Another tornado killed 24 people in China the day before, including 11 on a capsized ferry.
A massive tornado touched down near El Reno, Oklahoma on May 31, growing to 2.6 miles wide, making it the largest tornado ever recorded. Doppler radar measured winds approaching 300 mph. Fortunately the tornado passed over most open country and never realized its full destructive potential. It still killed 8 people, including 4 storm chasers, the first ever to be killed by a tornado. Among the dead was Tim Samaras, a well-respected member of the storm chasing and scientific community.
