Tornadoes from the past.
May 27, 1896
What may have been the
first tornado of the day killed a woman near Bellflower, Missouri. At
3:15 PM, three students
died and sixteen were injured in the destruction of the Dye School in
Audrain County, Missouri.
A few minutes later, the same tornado killed one student and injured
nineteen at the Bean
Creek School. At 6:15 PM, two children died on a farm in Osage County,
Missouri. At about 6:30
PM, two tornadoes touched down almost simultaneously from separate
storms. One leveled
entire farms near New Minden, Hoyleton, Richview, and Irvington, Illinois.
The other was the third
deadliest tornado in US history, taking a total of at least 255 lives.
In Saint
Louis, Missouri, people
died in homes, factories, saloons, hospitals, mills, railroad yards, and
churches, as a half-mile-wide
swath was cut across the center of the city. At least 137 people
died at Saint Louis.
Other people living on shanty boats may have perished in the Mississippi
River, but were not
counted because their bodies were washed downstream. At East Saint Louis,
Illinois, the funnel
had narrowed but may have also intensified. Devastation there was more
complete, and 118 people
were killed. Twenty seven more people died in other Illinois tornadoes
this day.
These are the ruins of the Lewistown Bridge,
in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. It is not known whether this was done
by a
tornado, or by a downburst, but the town itself
was definitely struck by a tornado, on July 4, 1874. Over 50 buildings
were
destroyed there, and over $100,000 damage was
done. Roof debris was carried several miles. Nineteen railroad cards were
derailed on and near the bridge over the Juniata
River. Three men were killed at an iron furnace. Two boys and a man were
killed when they were caught in transit on the
bridge.
