Indiana’s 1965 Palm Sunday Tornadoes

April 11, 1965 was grim in many Indiana towns… places like Marion, Kokomo, and Goshen. The picture you see below, via NOAA, is a shot of the famous Elkhart, Indiana “double tornado” that killed 36 people during the “Palm Sunday Tornado” outbreak. Seven of the ten tornadoes that day were killers, and took 137 lives […]

The “Tri-State” Tornado

It was 99 years ago today that the deadly “Tri-State Tornado” struck. It began near Ellington, Missouri and moved through Illinois and Indiana. Over the next 3.5 hours and 219 mi, 695 were killed, 2,000+ were injured, and entire towns were destroyed. No advance warnings, of course. It was described as “a pillar of black […]

Now That’s What I Call A Blizzard!

In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan’s Storm of the Century in 1938, some snow drifts reached the level of utility poles. Nearly a meter of new and unexpected snow fell over two days in a storm that started 86 years ago this week. As snow fell and gale-force winds piled snow to surreal heights, many […]

Thomas Jefferson, Frontier Weatherman

Independence Day always makes me reflect on America’s amazing forefathers. When it comes to weather, Ben Franklin’s the famous flashy guy flying his kite in the storm. But the National Weather Service sometimes claims another revolutionary icon as the first weather watcher. Thomas Jefferson kept a consistent record of his weather observations, in America, and […]

Indy 500 Weather History

Weather has completely postponed the Indy 500 three times. The first was back in 1915. They postponed that one the day before because it had been so wet. It was completed on Monday. A completed rainout didn’t happen again until 1986, when the race was cancelled in the morning. The next day was also washed […]
