ON THIS DATE IN 1999: A total of 74 tornadoes touched down across Oklahoma and Kansas in less than 21 hours. At one point, there were as many as four tornadoes reported on the ground at the same time. The strongest tornado, rated a maximum F-5 on the Fujita Tornado Scale, tracked for nearly an hour and a half along a 38-mile path from Chickasha through south Oklahoma City and the suburbs of Bridge Creek, Newcastle, Moore, Midwest City and Del City. As the skies cleared, the states counted 46 dead and 800 injured, more than 8000 homes damaged or destroyed, and total property damage of nearly $1.5 billion.

The Greenwood, Arkansas F4 #Tornado – April 19, 1968! It lasted only four minutes—but left devastating destruction behind. An F4 tornado tore through the heart of Greenwood, Arkansas, tracking 2 miles with a maximum width of 300 yards. In that short time, 14 people were killed and 270 others were injured. Thomas Grazulis wrote in *Significant Tornadoes* that much of Greenwood was “reduced to matchsticks and kindling.” The tornado moved through downtown and nearby neighborhoods, leaving a “sea of rubble.” According to the *Storm Data* narrative, more than 400 homes and 60 business units were destroyed or damaged. At the time, it was considered the most destructive tornado in Arkansas since the 1952 Judsonia tornado. tornadotalk.com/the-greenwoo… #arwx #OTD #tornadohistory
