Encyclopedia
The 2002 Veterans Day Weekend tornado outbreak was a large, widespread and rare outbreak of storms that occurred from the late afternoon hours on November 9 through the early morning hours on Veterans Day
, November 11, 2002. Eighty-three tornado
es hit 17 states. Twelve tornadoes killed 36 people in five states. This was the first major outbreak
of the 21st century, and is the second biggest in November.
and a less intense and more sporadic one in autumn

in the late afternoon hours on Saturday, November 9, 2002. However, the brunt of the outbreak was on November 10. It began around 2 P.M. in Indiana
and became widespread from Mississippi
up through Ohio
in the afternoon. Seventeen died in Tennessee
, twelve in Alabama
, five in Ohio
, and one each in Pennsylvania
and Mississippi.
The most notable and photogenic tornado of the outbreak was the one that occurred at Van Wert, Ohio
. Van Wert has been hit before. The last time they were hit was during the 1965 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak. That tornado was an F4. During this outbreak, a theater was destroyed at around 3:30 P.M. The walls and roof were damaged or destroyed by the tornado and three cars were thrown into the front seats which minutes earlier had been completely filled with people. This very large tornado was also rated F4. This was the farthest north and east such an intense tornado has occurred that late in the year. Notably, no one was killed at the packed theater because the manager received warning via Van Wert County Emergency Director Rick McCoy and evacuated everyone to safer shelter.
The lead time of this tornado was approximately 28 minutes. A tornado warning
went out for Van Wert County at 3:02 P.M. This tornado outbreak was particularly noted because of the massive lead times on all the tornadoes, but there was a slight dispute because the northern tornadoes (such as Van Wert) occurred in severe thunderstorm watch
boxes.
This outbreak was exceptional because of its extremely long duration, extremely large area affected, and very large number of tornadoes and intense tornadoes. It is among the most productive tornado events in recorded history.
The 2002 tornado season in perspective was extremely slow, the slowest the U.S. has seen since 1988. The year was due to have only one-quarter of the national average this year, but due to the sudden burst of tornado activity between November 5 and December 18, 2002 had one of the most active fall seasons in U.S. history.

tornado and there were 2 fatalities near Continental, Ohio
