The March 3-4 Southern California tornado outbreak was the costliest and deadliest tornado outbreak ever recorded, as well as the only major outbreak recorded in Southern California. The most powerful tornado, an EF5, was responsible for the majority of the destruction and deaths as it passed through major population centers all throughout the Los Angeles region. The outbreak began in the morning of March 3rd, when a weak EF0 touched down near Lompoc, and ended during the afternoon of the 4th when the final EF2 tornado dissipated near Prescott, Arizona. It began when a major Pacific storm system passed through possibly the most unstable environment ever recorded for the region, causing the perfect conditions for supercell and tornado formation within the storm system.

abstract
| - The March 3-4 Southern California tornado outbreak was the costliest and deadliest tornado outbreak ever recorded, as well as the only major outbreak recorded in Southern California. The most powerful tornado, an EF5, was responsible for the majority of the destruction and deaths as it passed through major population centers all throughout the Los Angeles region. The outbreak began in the morning of March 3rd, when a weak EF0 touched down near Lompoc, and ended during the afternoon of the 4th when the final EF2 tornado dissipated near Prescott, Arizona. It began when a major Pacific storm system passed through possibly the most unstable environment ever recorded for the region, causing the perfect conditions for supercell and tornado formation within the storm system. The damage caused by the outbreak was unprecedented and many areas, particularly in the Los Angeles basin after the great EF5 tornado, will have a very long road of recovery to come.
