09.06.1984: CENTRAL RUSSIA OUTBREAK
photo: Ivanovo-Tornado (F5) [Komsomol'skaya Pravda Ivanovo]
data (status: 24.03.2007, 1st update):
- up to 22 (current thinking!) tornadoes occured in the embedded area of Rybinsk-Tver'-Moscow-Rjazan-Penza-Samara-Kazan-Vjatka-Vologda (~400.000 km²)
- duration: up to 8 hours (start ~0900 UTC / ending ~1700 UTC)
- highest activity began ~1130 UTC and ended ~1430 UTC
- at least two violent tornadoes (F5 and F4) and at least one F3 were produced
- occurence of strong and violent tornadoes mostly took place simultaneously (from ~1100 UTC to ~1430 UTC)
- path direction: SSW -> NNE / later on from S -> N (~1300 UTC)
- at least 400 people were killed throughout tornado occurence
- at least 1.500 houses were destroyed / at least 500 houses demaged
- at least 30 villages and 6 towns/cities were affected
- current thinking is that demages totally amounts billions of Rubels
- current thinking is to split the events of Rostov/Danilov and Vetluga/Ponazyrevo into four single cases because of the long distances between these villages/towns. The city of Jaroslavl' is situated straightly between Danilov (north) and Rostov (south), but the city was not hit by a tornado, so Rostov and Danilov were two different cases (?). The other cases (Vetluga/Ponazyrevo) can be more expected as two single cases: distance between both places is ~120 km in NW-direction. Thuderstorms shifted northward in this region, so these two events are more than likely two single events. So, 22 tornadoes probably occured on 09.06.1984.
