Sound And Fury - A History Of Kansas Tornadoes, 1854-2008 (Paperback)

When readers think of the destructive nature of tornadoes, they often think of Kansas. The Sunflower State has certainly earned the nickname, "The Cyclone State," on and off since territorial times. The movie, the Wizard of Oz, has not helped the state's image of wild weather in the heart of tornado alley and the subsequent widespread death and destruction. Now, Sound and Fury provides a comprehensive look at the many tornadoes that visited Kansas. Over a hundred of the best-known tornado events are documented here, including the famous Irving tornado of 1879; the Udall tornado that killed dozens of residents while they were sleeping; the first $100,000,000 tornado-the Topeka tornado-of 1966; and recently, the famous Greensburg tornado which wiped out the entire community in 2007. Sound and Fury is four hundred pages of stories with over a hundred illustrations and maps of significant tornado paths.
