By Chris Michaels Verified| WRAL-TV (Raleigh, NC) Verified For many in North Carolina, April 16, 2011, is a date that's cemented in our memory.

This tornado's path was extremely long, but the record for longest tornado in Arkansas was back in 2008. It traveled almost 122 miles. That's according to the Midwestern Regional Climate Center.
