Wallace Akin was two years old when the Tri-State Tornado picked up
his house-with he and his mother inside-and dropped it atop two
other collapsed buildings. Across town, his father lay unconscious
near his auto shop, close to death, and Akin's brother managed to
crawled from beneath the collapsed shop. All survived. Many others
were not as fortunate: Earlier that afternoon, a supercell
thunderstorm had spawned a tornado so deadly that it set records
against which we still measure all other tornados. The storm ripped
through southeast Missouri, southern Illinois, and southwest
Indiana, killing 695 people and wounding 2,000, in a
record-breaking 219-mile, 3-hour path of destruction. His hometown
was the worst hit, losing 243 people to the tornado.
