From the Journal …
On March 18, 1925, at 2:32 p.m., the Tri-State Tornado struck Murphysboro, Illinois. A minute or so later, 238 people lay dead or dying.
The tornado dipped from the clouds in Missouri, then crossed the entire state of Illinois before disappearing in the skies over Indiana. Over the next 210 minutes, entire towns were destroyed, others were crippled and never regained their former glory. 695 people lay dead or dying, and over 2,000 were injured.
For the the last several years, I’ve traced the route of the Tri-State Tornado, looking for the scars it might have left, that survived over the past century. What I found was a horror show. People lived through something out of Dante’s Inferno, witnessing scenes seldom seen this side of Hell.
