125 years ago today, the little town of New Richmond, Wisconsin was visited by one of the most violent tornadoes in history. The destruction was among the most complete ever documented, resulting in nearly 120 fatalities. This is the story.

Just dropping in to bump this for the 40th anniversary - I've been slowly updating it here and there, so there's a fair bit of new content now.

On May 31, 1985, an unusually violent tornado outbreak struck in an even more unusual place, killing 91 people across Ohio, Pennsylvania and Southern Ontario.

If you've ever wanted entirely too much detail about this historic event, you're in luck!

@cthulhu4america See this is why we need ranked-choice voting.

[Shawn Schuman @stormstalker01]

@StephenM Just did, Goebbels. We voted for Kamala.. or is that not what you meant?

Ignore exit polls. Instead, watch an episode of “Battlefield.” https://t.co/1lx4dQ3tJx

@janecoaston This is 100% my jam. One of my go-to "throw it on to fall asleep to" series.. except I usually get wrapped up in it for a few hours instead.

@Leslieks @mviser @brianschatz Florida happened, basically.

@27KeysToTheRace @the_toole1 @SwannMarcus89 Well how else are you supposed to make your voice heard?

@adamswright @Ike_Saul In theory, but it depends on how the polls are weighted, which is far from an exact science. If the assumptions baked into the polling are wrong, the polls will be too.

@N_J____ @BostonJoshZ @charlescwcooke @neoavatara @benshapiro Truly an evergreen question.

[Shawn Schuman @stormstalker01]

@TripleD_Blair This is the way. Which probably means we won't do any of it.

@7Veritas4 Not as nervous as I was a couple of weeks ago. My plan is to cast my own vote and then help get a bunch of other people to the polls here in PA.

We've put in the work and we're going to win.

@TkMe2UrLeader11 @ACLU That's utter nonsense. If there's unrest, it's wholly because the right has spent years very deliberately trying to foment it.

@KwikWarren This is the first season I've ever willingly skipped watching games. And that includes the dumpster fire that was 2015.

@4tune8man @semaforben @maxwelltani You need help, man. Genuinely.

@NicoleVCook @taylorstakes @TheRickWilson @KamalaHarris @KamalaforPA @Columbia I'm a bit north of you and we've had at least half a dozen Dem canvassers come through in the last two weeks. Only one during the entire 2020 election. I've been canvassing in other parts of PA and it's the same story - volunteers for Kamala everywhere. Super encouraging!
