The Tri State tornado was the deadliest, longest lived, fastest, and farthest traveling tornado in U.S. history. It killed 695 people, injured more tan 2,000 and destroyed more than 15,000 homes. It lasted for 3 hours and 29 minutes, traveling 219 miles. At times it moved at up to 73 mph. It was an F5 and maintained F4 to F5 intensity along nearly its entire path ranging in width between 3/4 mile and 1 mile. Part of its deadliness was due to a combination of its wide path and the low cloud base, which resulted in people not recognizing it as a tornado as it approached. It was hidden behind rain at times as well.
