Tornadoes of 1980

This was last of only three F3/EF3 tornadoes to hit Broward County, Florida, with the others occurring on April 10, 1956, and February 23, 1965.

[8] A destructive F3 tornado tore through Downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan, killing five, injuring 79, and causing an estimated at $50 million in damage.

[10] A two-day tornado outbreak caused widespread damage from North Dakota and Nebraska to Pennsylvania.

The outbreak is best remembered for a slow-moving supercell complex that moved across Grand Island, Nebraska, spawning seven tornadoes, three of which were anticyclonic.

The tornadoes also did not move in a straight line, with most looping back over their own path at least once.

[10][11] An F2 tornado in Harford County, Maryland, moved onto the Aberdeen Proving Ground, injuring 10.

[13] An extremely rare F0 tornado touched down in Roseway, Nova Scotia, Canada.

This was the third tornado recorded in Nova Scotia, moving and overturning a trailer, and uprooting trees.
