SynopsisThe Deadliest Twister in U.S. History The weather forecast for much of the Midwest on March 18, 1925, predicted "Wind and rain." This prediction was right, but lethally inadequate. Around 1 p.m., a tornado touched down near Ellington, Missouri, and charged relentlessly for three and a half hours across Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. The destructive storm left schools and workplaces leveled, over 600 dead and 1,600 injured in its two-hundred-nineteen-mile wake--earning it the name, the Great American Tornado. A nation united, doctors and nurses rushed aboard express trains. The Red Cross orchestrated an enduring six-month relief campaign, and people contributed funds and condolences from around the world. Amidst the staggering ruin, volunteers, the Red Cross, and ordinary heroes like Isaac Levy spearheaded awe-inspiring recovery efforts that rivaled the powerful storm., The weather forecast for much of the Midwest on March 18, 1925, predicted "wind and rain." This prediction was right but lethally inadequate. Around 1:00 p.m., a tornado touched down near Ellington, Missouri, and charged relentlessly for three and a half hours across Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The destructive storm left schools and workplaces leveled and more than 600 dead and 1,600 injured in its 219-mile wake-earning it the name the "Great American Tornado." With the nation united, doctors and nurses rushed aboard express trains. The Red Cross orchestrated an enduring six-month relief campaign, and people contributed funds and condolences from around the world. Amid the staggering ruin, volunteers, the Red Cross and ordinary heroes like Isaac Levy spearheaded awe-inspiring recovery efforts that rivaled the powerful storm.
