There is a lot of history behind the topic of Tornadoes.
Countless stories exist about incidents which occurred, both strange and humorous.
Following will be some stories about specific tornadic events, and the legacy some tornadoes have left behind. Whenever possible, the date and location of the tornado will be given. Perhaps the most devastating tornado to strike anywhere is the Tri-State Tornado, which was described in the Destruction section. The tornado touched down in March of 1925, killing 695 people, injuring over 2,000, damaging 6 towns, and completely wiping 4 more off the map. This tornado traveled through Andover Kansas, where the town's only outdoor warning siren failed.
