At least 300 people have been reported killed from Wednesday’s (April 27) tornado strikes that hit the south east.

The latest tornadic outburst hit six states, the unofficial number is 151 tornadoes.  TV news weathermen are saying it could be the most devastating one day tornado event in U.S. history.

They also think when the official numbers come in, it will reveal record numbers of tornadoes for the month of April.  Officially the worst tornado outbreak in U.S. history occurred in April 1974.  148 twisters hit 13 states in one day, according to the National Weather Service.

So far, unofficially it looks like April 2011 might have a record of 300 tornadoes.
