68-mile-long scar from violent tornado spotted by satellite

68-mile-long scar from violent tornado spotted by satellite

Tornadoes hit the South hard on Easter Sunday, just as predicted by the National Weather Service. Three days later, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite captured an image of a long scar left by one of the day’s powerful twisters.

The image shows a 68-mile-long scar in Mississippi, which is land flattened by an EF-4 tornado, the second-most damaging type of tornado.
