Kentucky tornado may have broken 1925 ‘Tri-State Tornado’s’ longest continuous path record

https://www.yahoo.com/now/kentucky-tornado-may-broken-1925-123235029.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAB4BoMvpcqFvpjCpB365-U8ZcIwQHAlI-9_5XM3u6lO6KDmO3mAhTbmSD9TSlEaZt8P_ckufjLEOZ0y_S8BNsgf-nemL4RL__drpSISyJaaGqRlGJDlG_sfPmnjgNS4dQXP-wCpKULEz3-lmn6QQ2r0bGECL7geuhKA—tUuetvd

On March 18, 1925, a tornado touched down near Ellington, Missouri, at 1:01 p.m. The tornado would stay on the ground for the next three and a half hours, moving through three states and over two major rivers amid a 219-mile path.

It was the longest continuous path for any tornado in recorded history, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

It may very well have the lost its title Friday night.

It will take an official National Weather Service survey to know for sure, but initial reports indicate one of Friday’s tornadoes touched down in northeastern Arknasas and then stayed on the ground for some 223 miles before retreating to the sky in Kentucky’s Breckinridge County. That distance was disclosed as an estimate in an early Saturday morning news briefing by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.
