Ep. 6: The Tornado Super Outbreak, 2011

In this one, Ian tells Liv about an outbreak of over 300 tornadoes that ravaged the southeast US, in just four days. Many storm records were set not only during this disaster, but throughout all of April 2011 and the rest of the year's storm season.

Also, Liv shares a bit Lowe's history, and Ian is utterly shocked.
