An F4 tornado struck the heavily populated southern sections of Wichita Falls in the late afternoon on Tuesday, April 10, 1979 (known as "Terrible Tuesday"). It was part of an outbreak that produced 30 tornadoes around the region. Despite having nearly an hour's advance warning that [[severe weather]] was imminent, 42 people were killed (including 25 in vehicles) and 1,800 were injured because it arrived just as many people were driving home from work.<ref>{{cite web|title=Synopsis and Discussion of the 10 April 1979 Tornado Outbreak|publisher=National Weather Service Norman, Oklahoma|date=January 19, 2010|url=http://www.weather.gov/oun/events-19790410-burgess|access-date=March 14, 2011}}</ref> It left 20,000 people homeless and caused $400 million in damage, a U.S. record not topped by an individual tornado until the F5 [[1999 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado|Moore–Oklahoma City tornado]] of May 3, 1999.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Great Plains Tornado Outbreak of May 3-4, 1999 |work=National Weather Service |location=Norman, Oklahoma |date=November 20, 2009 |url=http://www.weather.gov/oun/events-19990503|access-date=December 4, 2009}}</ref>
