Wow! And in 1925 the strength of Buildings and Homes were much less.

Yes (not to get off topic from the current terrible deal)...but if the Tri-State hit today in exactly the same area (without warning which thank heavens we have) it would kill 10,000....if it came a bit north and hit St.Louis, East Saint Louis, and Collinsville without warning it would kill 100,000.

Again O.T. - the Tri-State tornado of 1925 was responsible for portions of railroad tracks (the iron rails) from Southern Illinois - being found in Indiana (across the river). They didn’t have any markings to track them with but they just asked around as far as who was missing railroad tracks...and nobody was in Indiana.
