Back in 72 When I was there, there were still reminders of the Storm that went through Topeka, it had taken out a chunk of the KS capitol rendered a 12 story hi rise unusable not to mention lifting up Engines from the Santa Fe yards. It was a monster!!
Was that the storm that took out the State Tree?
In ‘67, IIRC, we were driving through Kansas and a tornado took out a small town less than 30 minutes after we passed through. My Dad was calm (good thing, he was driving), my Mom, not so much.
