The Great Tri-State Tornado of Wednesday, March 18, 1925, is the deadliest tornado in U.S. history. It is
the most standout tornado of a major outbreak of at least twelve known significant tornadoes across a
large portion of the Midwestern and Southern U.S. The Tri-State Tornado alone inflicted 695 fatalities,
[2]

the tornado killed more than twice as many as the second deadliest, the 1840 Great Natchez Tornado.
The 151 to 235 mi (243 to 378 km) track left by the tornado was the longest ever recorded in the world as
it crossed from southeastern Missouri, through southern Illinois, then into southwestern
Indiana.

Although not officially rated by NOAA, it is recognized by most experts (such as Tom
Grazulis
[4]
and Ted Fujita
[5]
) as an F5 tornado, the maximum damage rating issued on the Fujita
scale.
