Liberals suffer from a silly modern conceit. This was a devastating storm, but hardly the worst in the history of the planet. He needs to study the Tri-State Tornado of 1925, among others. The Tri-State Tornado was an F5 that was on the ground for 3.5 hours and traveled 234 miles across Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, which is the longest continual tornado path in the recorded history of the world. It killed at last 747 people and injured thousands, making it the deadliest in U.S. history by far.

The History channel did a program on that in their Wrath of God series

From the cited article:

If this happened today it would be the F'n end of the F'n world.

That’s amazing. Back then, people would have practically no warning that something might be coming their way either. The weather service didn’t start issuing tornado alerts until 1950.
