The extreme deadliness of the Tri-State tornado was due to a combination of factors. First, it was an extremely violent tornado, maintaining F4 or F5 intensity along most of its path and had a wide swath of destruction, at times a mile wide. Second, it had a very long path, more than 200 miles long, so it covered a lot of ground, striking one town after another and so on. Third, it moved very fast, averaging more than 60 miles per hour, leaving little time for people to prepare. Fourth, the tornado's wide funnel accompanied by the low cloud base made it difficult to distinguish as a tornado, so many people did not realize the danger until it was too late. Finally, back in 1925 there was no advance warning system for tornadoes.
