Good question. This was a combination of a cold front moving down from Canada pushing the warm moist air ahead of it up and over it and generating a thin line of thunderstorms. This was combined with a sub-tropical jet streaming across the Gulf of Mexico from Mexico which helped create the cyclonic circulation within that line of thunderstorms. It was a very typical set of circumstances that we look for in forecasting tornadoes - warm moist unstable air near the surface with some lifting mechanism combined with a strong shearing wind aloft.

You had to be expecting this answer but: global warming. See, it's set into motion causing the bird flu, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, etc. More storms will be popping up in the future. Same with diseases.
