What meteorological factors contributed to the intensity and unusual timing of the recent severe storms?

The unusually high number of tornadoes (68 since Friday) and their intensity (wind gusts up to 70mph) were due to a clash of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and colder air from Canada and the Rockies, enhanced by flat terrain. This caused extensive destruction across the Midwest and South, continuing eastward to the East Coast.
