'To have an outbreak of this magnitude, with this many tornado reports—it's a little unusual for this time of year,' said meteorologist Dan Pydynowski.
An outbreak of deadly tornadoes ripped through at least six U.S. states overnight on Friday and into Saturday morning, leading to devastating damage and fears that upwards of 100 people have died.
"This has been the most devastating tornado event in our state's history. What it has done here is indescribable. The level of devastation is unlike anything I've ever seen," Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said early Saturday morning. "To have an outbreak of this magnitude, with this many tornado reports—it's a little unusual for this time of year," Dan Pydynowski, a senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, said on Friday,"It was unusually warm, and there was moisture in place," he added,"and you had a strong cold front end. These are the ingredients for big storms in the spring, but not in mid-December.
