The worst tornado in Kansas history was the Udall tornado of May 25, 1955. This F5 tornado first touched down in Oklahoma and moved northward into Kansas, striking the small town of Udall, where 75 people were killed. Five more people were killed on a farm. The southern part of Udall was completely swept away. This was the deadliest tornado in Kansas history and the 25th deadliest in U.S. history. It was the last tornado in the U.S. to kill more than 60 people until 2011.
