The worst tornado in U.S. history passes through eastern Missouri, southern Illinois, and southern Indiana, killing 695 people, injuring some 13,000 people, and causing $17 million in property damage.
Known as the “Tri-State Tornado,” the deadly twister began its northeast track in Ellington, Missouri, but wreaked its worst damage in southern Illinois. More than 500 of the total 695 people who perished were killed there, including 234 in Murphysboro and 127 in West Frankfort.
A tornado is a dark, funnel-shaped cloud containing violently rotating air that develops in climate conditions that, in the United States, are generally unique to the central and southern plains and the Gulf states. The rotating winds of tornadoes can attain velocities of 300 m.p.h., and its diameter can vary from a few feet to a mile. A tornado generally travels in a northeasterly distance at speeds of 20 to 40 m.p.h. and usually covers anywhere between one and more than 100 miles.
The Tri-State Tornado of 1925 traveled 219 miles, spent more than three hours on the ground, devastated 164 square miles, had a diameter of more than a mile and traveled at speeds in excess of 70 m.p.h.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis.

I’ve lived through five tornadoes…so far. Slept through 3 of ’em! Also survived a mid Atlantic hurricane on a boat. The view up from inside the eye wall is spectacular!
Scru’s done everything and been everywhere and knows and does better than everyone. You are sofa king full of it. Up your game, Langley.
I have never seen a tornado.
Therefore they do not exist.
I have outlived every tornado that has happened during my life..
Chuck Norris tells tornadoes to sit and spin.
What few people know is that tornados are deliberately created by the government using an electromagnetic atmospheric blender.
The spinning field of energy winds the clouds up like springs, and when they cut the power-instant tornado started on a dime.
I believe it was called athe “Directed Unified Power Effector” or DUPE for short.
‘Cause tornadoes were invented by DARPA in 1947. Shaddup, shyt4brains. Geoengineering is real, but you’re not. Quit trying to make it ridiculous.
The technology was invented in the 1800s from plans discovered in a cave in Grand Canyon National Park.
In an area that is now off limits to the public.
The origins of the plans come from an ancient human civilization.

As far as this comment goes:
“Shaddup, shyt4brains.”?
Go fuck yourself with a stick, asshole!
“Quit trying to make it ridiculous.”
How it would be possible to make the absolute ridiculous…more ridiculous is a conundrum top scientists have been working on around the clock.
