CYCLONES IN HISTORY

“Adams County, Mississippi. was swept by two tornadoes, on May 7, 1840, land June 16, 1842, that were not only un- paralleled in horror up to that time in the history of the country, but have seldom been exceeded since. In the first 317 persons were killed and 100 injured, with a property loss of $1,260,000, and in the second 500 persons were killed outright and the property loss was even greater.”
