Writing and formatting
Consider adding at least one more paragraph to the lead
Is there a better section title than "Synopsis"?
"a strong northwest wind an hail stones" - grammar
Given that some tornadoes affected more than one state, might you title the table "Tornadoes by state of origin" or something similar?
Quotes that are not complete sentences should have ending quotation mark before punctuation
"but only slightly injured" -> "but was only slightly injured"
Accuracy and verifiability
Make sure that all quotations have citations
Citations needed for:
"leveled with the ground"
"feared mortally wounded."
A house's roof was destroyed, with pieces scattered 0.75 miles (1.2 km) away
Pieces of the house were found 3 miles (4.8 km) distant. A barn was "taken and entirely carried off" by the tornado, and was not found.
hail stones weighing more than 1 ounce (28 g) damaged crops and broke windows.
One author's name is spelled both "Ludlum" and "Ludlam" in the references. Which is correct?
Broad
Rather short for a good article, but covers the topic well
Neutrality
Take a look at
WP:WTA - certain words introduce an editorial bias and should be avoided
Stable
No issues noted
Images
The image is tagged to be recreated using vector graphics
Not required, but I personally would appreciate a similar map showing the approximate paths of the tornadoes
