The Tri-State Tornado happened ONE CENTURY AGO today.

The twister still holds many prominent records, including the deadliest tornado in U.S. history.

But was it one tornado, or multiple?

This same group used archival research and gumshoe detective work to identify possible gaps/handoffs in the #TriStateTornado ‘s 219-mile path. The resulting manuscript, a volunteer labor of love, rates as one of my favorite scientific papers of all time:

In the early 2000s, a group of mainly retired forecasters, incl. the late Bob Johns and Chuck Doswell sought to reconstruct the meteorological setup of the #TriStateTornado. In 1925, there were no radars or satellites. Much of their analysis was based on surface charts. Read: doi.org/10.55599/ejs...
