Called the Tri-State Tornado, it started the afternoon of March 18, 1925, near Ellington, Missouri. For about four hours, the storm raced along a track of more than 200 miles, decimating parts of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. It came with no warning.
By the end of the day, 695 people were dead, more than 2,000 were injured and thousands were left homeless – even town-less.
