4.9/5 (18284 ratings)

Description:Nature's most powerful force is the tornado. The first pioneers who set foot in Kansas had to deal with many adversities, but their lack of knowledge about tornadoes caught many by surprise. Almost every spring, when the winds turned warm and the skies became black with thunderstorms, death and destruction dealt a crucial blow to someone somewhere in the Sunflower State. Daniel C. Fitzgerald, a Kansas historian famous for his Ghost Towns of Kansas series, tackles a new project on the destructive tornadoes that literally changed Kansas history and how they influenced the way outsiders view the state. His first major work in fifteen years chronicles the history of Kansas tornadoes from territorial times to the present day. This exhaustive study was ten years and thousands of hours in the makiing.Here are the stories and the heroes, including:Udall, 1955: A late night tornado killed scores of people while they were sleeping in their beds. Topeka, 1966: This tornado cost the capital city over $100,000,000 as it sliced the town in half.Greensburg, 2007: The entire town was flattened by one of the largest tornadoes to hit Kansas. Irving, 1879: This small railroad town was hit by two tornadoes an hour apart on the same day.Sound and Fury, Fitzgerald's popular comeback, documents the histories of over a hundred Kansas tornadoes.
