across the midday hours of March 1, 2007, a supercell produced a tornado that would track through Enterprise, Alabama, causing heavy damage. The tornado would be part of a larger outbreak that lasted from February 28 to March 2. The tornado would inflict severe damage to the Enterprise High School, where it would kill 8 students. This tornado would be the deadliest tornado to strike a school since the Belvidere tornado in 1967. This would be the deadliest tornado in the outbreak as well. The tornado would spend much of it's 10 miles ({{rnd/cTemplate:Rnd/b|16|(1−1)|0}} km) in Enterprise, flattening many homes and businesses. While school was to be dismissed at 1:00 p.m., but the tornado struck before much of the school could be dismissed. The tornado would cause 50 significant injuries as well.[1]
