Stormy Weather: tornadoes in Kansas

from A Kansas Memory: The Kansas Historical Society Library and Archives Podcast · host Michael Church

Since long before Euro-American settlement, strong winds have been a constant feature of the central plains region and the area now known as Kansas. The name Kansas was borrowed from the Kanza Indians who called themselves "the people of the south wind." This podcast features three stories about Kansas tornadoes recorded by visitors to the Forces of Nature exhibit at the Kansas Museum of History. These stories are also available on the Historical Society’s website for primary sources, Kansas Memory, at http://www.kansasmemory.org.
