A Single Attack of Deadliest Tornado in US History

Tornadoes are dangerous column of air rotation which affects the earth surface damaging quite similar to earthquakes and the cumulonimbus cloud or tin some instances a cumulus cloud. Some countries like the United States always experience the tornadoes and suffer from the damage and death toll. Tornadoes are sometimes called cyclone or twister. Tornadoes can appear in many sizes and shapes which are typically visible in form of funnel which have narrow touches on the surface of the earth and usually the cloud like dust and debris encircle it. Typically, tornadoes can take less than 110 miles/hour or 177 km/hour which is about 250 feet or 80 meters across and it can cause damages or death while moving around before it dissipates. Extreme tornadoes can reach the speed greater than 480 km/hour or 300 mph, that stretches more than 3 kilometers across and it is also capable of staying on the ground for dozens of more than 100 km. Several types of tornadoes are watersprout, multiple vortex and landsprout tornado.


Tri-State Tornado on March 18, 1925 with 695 death toll which is twice deadliest than the second tornado on 1840 known as Great Natchez Tornado. The long time continuous track of > 352 km or > 219 mile which became the longest time duration of tornado existed in history

In US history, the deadliest tornado was the Tri-State Tornado on March 18, 1925 with 695 death toll which is twice deadliest than the second tornado on 1840 known as Great Natchez Tornado. The long time continuous track of > 352 km or > 219 mile which became the longest time duration of tornado existed in history seems like the shocking facts of the first four months of earthquake struck. It affected places of Missouri, through crossing the Southern Illinois. At the time the tornado cross the Mississippi River going into the Southern Illinios, it hit the town of Gorham and destroyed the entire town with 34 people killed during the devastation. Its speed is 62 miles/hour going to Murphysboro, Hurst-Bush, De Soto as well as West Frankfort. It also afflicted some parts of Maunie, Eighteen and Zeigler. In 40 minutes movement and destruction of tornado, 541 were killed; the place was entirely damaged with 1, 423 who were seriously injured. Parrish village was totally destroyed killing 22 persons while in Murphysboro, 234 people died. The tornado went to Hamilton and in the White Counties damaging 65 more houses. On the other hand, there were about 613 people killed. Then, it goes along the southwestern portion of Indiana. The tornado crossed the Wabash River and reached Indiana. It nearly ruin the whole Griffin, devastating some rural areas that made an impact on Owensville, then damage more in Princeton. The tornado became more aggressive that it traveled ten times greater 16 km to the northeast and it dissipated after travelling around 3 miles in the southwest Petersburg. It caused the life of 71 people. Many recognized it as F5 tornado that caused the severe damage on maximum rating damage issued on Fujita scale.

Actually, such tornado is a larger part of tornado outbreak on that exactly same day which happened in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Kansas and Indiana. It matches the sixth deadliest earthquake in history the total tornadoes that happened on that day resulted to 747 people who were killed and more than 3, 000 were injured, thus it became the deadliest tornado outbreak which also labeled as the US deadliest tornadic day. It just happened in a single tornado attack marking a sad history of US.

It is hard to ascertain if the tornado is one or it composes a series of tornadoes or tornado family just like a question in your mind "Is a super volcano a fearful threat for the destruction of the earth and humanity?" The theory of tornadoes and the supercell morphology give makes the tornado improbable. Research and scientific studies about tornadoes characteristics are further involve in the studies and research to determine its innate capacities and sudden changes, to pre-end some untoward accidents and other damages avoiding the ill effect of it. s some kind of explanation on the duration.
