{{orphan|date=March 2025}} {{no sources|date=June 2018}} [[File:Gidamage.jpg|thumb|Damage from the Grand Island tornadoes.]] The '''1980 Grand Island tornado''' occurred on June 3, 1980 in [[Grand Island, Nebraska]]. The previous day tornadoes were reported in [[Iowa]], [[Indiana]], and [[Ohio]]. Several more tornadoes broke out on that day in [[Pennsylvania]], [[Maryland]], [[West Virginia]], and [[Nebraska]]. On the evening of Wednesday, June 3, a slow-moving [[supercell]] thunderstorm developed over Nebraska. The result was the most unusual in [[United States|American]] weather history: these storms moved at 8 mph, some of these tornadoes were anticyclonic, and they didn't move in a straight line, with some looping back around. [[Tornado warning|Tornado warnings]] were issued. 5 people were killed and 200 were injured. June 3 is known as '''The Night of the Twisters''', which is a book written by Ivy Ruckman in 1984, and a movie that premiered on February 14, 1996 on The Family Channel (now [[Freeform]]).
