The Tri-State Tornado Disaster of 1925 | Episode 27

You’re about to hear a story about the most unique and deadly natural disasters to ever hit the US that no one was allowed to talk about. An amazing story that started out as a draft.On this episode: this is the first story we’ve done where the resulting damage can be compared to laser damage from space; so you know you’re going to hear about a lot of people Hereditaried and bisected; and a whole host of things so awful most didn’t make it into the show.We’re talking tornados, but we’re not focusing on the science. We are focusing on an unusual and little-understood tornadic ability that freaked me the hell out to learn about, and I think it can do the same for you. Excitingly enough, this is our first tornado disaster, and we picked a hell of a one to start. Enjoy one of the most powerful storms in the history of recorded meteorology.Celebrity guests include: world record holders, Matt Suter and Usain Bolt; pioneer of earthquake measurement, Tetsuya Teddy Fujita; fast food magnate and creator of Wendy’s, Dave Thomas; popcorn super ghost that haunts us today, Orville Redenbacher; Roger Edwards of the National Weather Service; and God - or at least God’s Finger.––––– THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn’t exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it’s been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone. I don’t do this for you, so much as I do this because of you.
