Subject : L9) What is the most damaging single TC-spawned tornado?
Contributed by Bill McCaul
One of the tornadoes produced by Hurricane Allen in 1980 did about $50
million damage (1980 dollars; about $127 million damage in 2005 dollars)
in the Austin, TX, area. More recently, Hurricane Cindy spawned a strong
tornado that damaged the Atlanta Motor Speedway and other nearby areas to
the tune of some $71.5 million in July 2005.
