The Tri-State Tornado: A Gripping Account of America's Greatest Tornado Disaster
On March 18, 1925, a devastating tornado tore through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, claiming the lives of 689 people in just three hours. This book reconstructs the tragedy using vivid eyewitness accounts from survivors who lived along the tornado's path.
The sheer force of the storm was so extreme that it obliterated several small towns in its wake. The clarity with which these survivors recall that day, over sixty years later, will give readers an unsettling feeling that the tornado struck days, not decades, ago.
