April 6

• 1935 – An F3 tornado, possibly a family of two tornadoes, struck parts of Gloster and Gillsburg, Mississippi, killing 14 people and injuring 220, and caused unknown damage in Louisiana. An F2 tornado killed three children in Doloroso, Mississippi.
• 1936 – A pair of tornadoes devastated downtown Gainesville, Georgia, killing at least 203 people and injuring 1,400. More may have died as 40 people were still missing when the death toll was declared. The deaths of 70 people were in one building that collapsed and caught fire, the highest single-building death toll for any U.S. tornado.
