On April 20 – 22, 1912, a large tornado outbreak affected portions of the High Plains, the Upper Midwest, and the Southern United States, including portions of what is now known as the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.
Powerful tornado activity was distributed from the Great Plains to South Carolina.
The first day of the outbreak occurred on April 20 and produced numerous strong to violent tornadoes across parts of North Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
The final day, April 22, produced an F4 tornado in Georgia as well.
Both outbreaks produced a combined total of nine F4 tornadoes in Oklahoma alone.
