540 people were killed by a tornado which hit St. Louis in May, 1896.
Remarkably, NOAA has brought most of them back to life!

Breaking! Increased CO2 causes people to stay dead.
Its metric.
NOAA gives 3 references for the details of the outbreak. Two out of the 3 say that the death toll was over 300; one says 315 victims had been found by nightfall on May 29, the second says ‘more than 300 were killed’ and the third says 255 were killed plus an unknown number whose bodies were washed downriver. Your reference, several days later, says 540 were killed.
Why are NOAA so keen to keep the death toll down when it’s fairly obvious that the numbers were much higher?
Bad news for funding if people find out that the climate used to be worse.
The extra 285 people were deemed surplus population by the Malthusian bean counters.
As were Negroes
