Agreed. The guy’s nothing but a propagandist. Someone ought to visit him with one of those coats with extra-long sleeves and haul him off to the Funny Farm where he belongs. If the AP had any integrity and journalistic self-respect left they’d fire him. But I suspect they’ll give him a pay raise instead.
"The Great Tri-State Tornado of March 18, 1925, started its uninterrupted 219-mile trek from its origin in the Missouri Ozarks. At an average speed of between 56 and an astounding 73 miles per hour (more than twice the speed of an average tornado), the Great Tri-State Tornado tore across Missouri, southern Illinois, and finally lifted three and one-half hours later in southwestern Indiana. The wall of violent blackness killed [still a record] 695 people, injured 2,027 people, destroyed 15,000 homes, and damaged more than 164 square miles (almost 50 times the average tornado)."
