  • The Great Tri-State Tornado of 1925 Lucy Travis Junior Division
    1 The Great Tri-State Tornado of 1925 Lucy Travis Junior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 1,722 words 2 In 1925 meteorology was in its infancy. Forecasts were designed to comfort citizens and predict the general weather of rain, snow, or sun. The military controlled all weather reports and banned certain words like “cyclone,” “hurricane,” and “tornado” which were said to bring unnecessary fear (Sean Morris). When the Tri-State Tornado hit it was unexpected by residents throughout Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. On its 219 mile trek it claimed the lives of 695 people and injured hundreds more (Tri-State Tornado). Air Force weather officers Captain Robert Miller and Major Ernest Fawbush were then assigned to study the event and convinced the military to rethink policies regarding permitted language. As a result, the change saved many lives in tornados to come (John Galvin). The Tri-State Tornado was a tragic event for hundreds of families in its destructive path and served as the triumphant catalyst for advancements in technology and storm tracking which resulted in hundreds of thousands of lives being saved over the past ninety years. In 1914 there were only 200 weather observers across the United States sending weather data by telegraph twice a day. Meteorologists in Washington DC processed the information and distributed it to communities around the country (Ronan Pioneer). At the time public broadcasting was very limited. There was no quick way to spread information across the countryside. At most, some households had radios, and television had not been invented. People would listen to the forecast at stores or on neighbor’s radios.

    P8.15 SIMULATIONS OF THE SUPERCELL OUTBREAK OF 18 MARCH 1925 Melissa E. Becker, Matthew S. Gilmore*, Jason Naylor, Justin. K. Weber Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND Robert A. Maddox, Tucson, AZ Gilbert P. Compo, Jeffrey S. Whitaker, and Thomas M. Hamill NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory and Univ. of Colorado CIRES Climate Diagnostics Center, Boulder, CO 1. INTRODUCTION* On 18 March 1925, the "Tri-State Tornado" left a path of nearly complete destruction across portions of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana and killed almost 700 people - the deadliest tornado in U.S. history (Changnon and Semonin 1966). The Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) is being used to conduct storm-scale simulations of this event in an effort to understand the environmental conditions and environmental changes that led to the long-track tornadic supercell thunderstorm and overall severe weather outbreak (Fig. 1). 2. EVENT OVERVIEW* The Tri-State Tornado was first reported shortly after 1 PM CST north of Ellington, MO (Fig. 2). Around 2 PM, the town of Biehle, MO was struck before the storm crossed the Mississippi River and destroyed the town of Gorham, IL a half hour later. Four other towns in southern Illinois were hit by the tornado within the Fig. 1. Summary of severe weather reports from 18 March hour. By 3 PM, the storm had crossed into Indiana, 1925 (from Maddox et al. 2011) within the outbreak region continuing to destroy towns and farms in its path before (outlined in red). Several tornadoes (tracks shown), finally lifting around 3:30 PM (Changnon and Semonin thunderstorms (“ ” symbols), and widespread hail (“H” symbols) 1966).

  • The Klan Comes to Tipton
    The Klan Comes to Tipton Allen Safianow * “Klan Speaker Is Coming” proclaimed the headline of a brief article on the back page of the September 22,1922, Tipton Daily Tri- bune. Dr. Lester Brown, “a speaker of force . not radical in his views,” would deliver a free lecture from the public square band- stand, and all residents were invited. “Much has been heard of this order by our people,” the article noted, “but locally they have not come in contact with it.” The next evening Brown, who described himself as an ordained minister from Atlanta, Georgia, addressed an assemblage of townspeople the Tribune called “not large, but attentive” and distributed cards for interested persons to sign, with about one hundred reportedly responding. He portrayed the Klan as an American Christian organization, consisting of “native born, white Gentile, Protestant” citizens, that stood for charity, the Constitution, pure womanhood, the Bible, public schools, and racial purity. In con- junction with Brown’s address, copies of the Klan weekly, The Fiery Cross, were distributed throughout the town that weekend, con- taining articles that denied that the Klan was anti-Catholic, anti- Semitic, or “anti-negro,”yet raised fears about miscegenation, Catholic intrusion in American politics, and Jewish business practices.’ Within a relatively short period of time, the Invisible Empire of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan would attain a very visible pres- ence in Tipton, a small town located some thirty miles north of Indi- anapolis. In 1925 the Tipton County Klan would claim 1,622 members among the county’s 16,000 residents, making the Tipton Klan one of the strongest in Indiana, where the organization came to enjoy its greatest influence, claiming over 165,000 Hoosier members in 1925.’ Although considerable attention has been given to the Klan movement of the 1920s, the circumstances and meaning of the rise of the Invisible Empire continue to be disputed.
