The first recording of the sound of a tornado came from that tornado.

The recording is available on the Internet.

Indeed, the Weather Bureau had a policy not to even use the word "tornado" in any forecast, to avoid inciting panic.

Government thinking that citizens were better off handling the aftermath of a disaster instead for preparing for it.

Long-track F4 tornado moved through Alabama and Georgia, killing 30 people. Another F4—the deadliest in North Carolina history—hit Rockingham, North Carolina, and killed 23.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Natchez_Tornado - circa 1840 with 317+ fatalities

The Great Natchez Tornado hit Natchez, Mississippi on Thursday, May 7, 1840. This tornado was the second deadliest tornado in United States history; at least 317 people were killed and at least 109 were injured.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_1896_tornado_outbreak_sequence Circa 1896 with 484+ fatalities

The deadliest tornado outbreak sequence in American history. Killer tornadoes touched down from Texas to Pennsylvania. Produced at least three F5 tornadoes and several F4s, including an F4 that killed at least 255 people and injured 1,236 in the St. Louis area. In Sherman Texas on May 15, one of the most intense tornadoes of the 19th century according to Grazulis struck. "Extraordinary" damage occurred to farms and 20 homes that were completely obliterated and swept away. An iron-beam bridge was torn apart and scattered, with one of the beams deeply embedded into the ground. Trees were reduced to debarked stumps, and grass was scoured from lawns in town as well. Several headstones at a cemetery were shattered or thrown up to 250 yards through the air, and a trunk lid from Sherman was found 35 miles away. Reliable reports said that numerous bodies were carried hundreds of yards, and that multiple deaths occurred in 17 different families; seven deaths were in one family alone. In Seneca Kansas on May 17, an opera house was swept away along with some farms. Entire farms were reportedly swept clean of debris, leaving the areas "bare as the prairie. In Ortonville-Oakwood Michigan on May 25th, houses and farms were leveled and swept away, with debris carried up to 12 mi (19 km) away. Trees were completely debarked, with even small twigs stripped bare in some cases. (>38 significant, 3 F5, 9 violent, ≥22 killer)

Hitting Ctrl+F and searching for December gives you 53 results which are actually 23 separate tornadoes or tornado outbreaks so don't let anyone tell you December is "rare". Plenty for Nov, January, February, March as well.

All of the above were before the Industrial Age.

Comrade Governor Beshear came on TV the other night and ask that we PRAY for the people in that part of the state! But remember, this is the same Comrade Governor who sent the Kentucky State Police out to prevent people from going to church with his early COVID totalitarianism proclamations.

In the lower left you will see an X I added to that map.

That is where my farm is! It's where I am right now.

There are family stories about this big old house and what happened during that storm....

I'm in a valley, in the Mark Twain forest...
