今天是Tri-State Tornado的89周年, 它发生在1925的3月18日。 The deadliest tornado to ever killed 695 people。 The Tri-State Tornado was a monster storm, traveling on the ground for a continuous 219 miles. It lasted for three and a half hours, traveling between 60 and 70 mph. As it’s name suggests, the storm’s path crossed three states, beginning in Missouri and traveling through Illinois before ending in Indiana. On top of all the casualties, more than 2,000 people reported injuries, and 15,000 homes were destroyed. More than 19 communities were in the line of the devastating storm, which was approximately three-quarters of a mile wide.
那个年代没有卫星, 雷达, 无线电也才刚起步, 所以这种灾难根本无法提前预测和预警。 结合当时的救援条件和医疗卫生水平, 这算是挺严重的SHTF实例了。
