Tornado outbreaks of mid-to-late May, 1896

The tornado outbreaks of mid-to-late May 1896 were a series of violent and deadly tornado outbreaks that struck much of the Central and Southern United States from May 15 to 28, 1896. It is considered one of the worst stretches of near-continuous tornadic activity on record, with tornado expert Tom Grazulis stating that the week of May 24–28 was "perhaps the most violent single week of tornado activity in United States history." There were four particularly notable tornado outbreaks during the two-week period.
