On March 18, 1925, the Tri-State Tornado, the deadliest in U.S. history, killed at least 695 people across Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
The storm, which traveled over 200 miles in about 3.5 hours, destroyed 19 communities and left widespread devastation, with Murphysboro, Illinois, suffering the highest single-city death toll.
Lacking modern warning systems, communities were caught off guard, contributing to the high casualty count.
Historical evidence confirms it was a single, long-track tornado, not a series of storms.
