Terrible Tornado!
Description
This tornado is described as causing nearly $500,000 worth of damages during its path, despite only lasting fifteen minutes. The newspaper describes how quickly the weather turned, revealing the clues that indicate a tornado will form with the sun heating up the atmosphere while stirring up the cool air. Due to the fair weather, many people were caught away from any form of shelter when the tornado struck, emphasising the modern importance of having tornado warnings and watches. A multitude of lives were lost due to the structural failure of the buildings they were sheltering in, a continuous issue.
