Here are some stats and graphs from this two-day severe weather outbreak. Due to technical issues, I have not been able to get a hold of radar animations or aerial storm damage videos but I will bring those to you later.

Wind Reports: 217
Hail Reports: 206
Total Severe Reports: 505
Tornado Warnings Issued: 144
Severe T-Storm Warnings Issued: 457
Total Warnings Issued: 601

NOTE: Severe reports are starting 6 AM on the day in question. Due to time zones, the breakdown of warnings per day may not be correct but the totals are right.
