Weather Statistics
On This Day
1894 – A record late snow of two to eight inches whitened parts of central and eastern Kentucky. Lexington, Kentucky, received six inches of snow.
1916 – A tornado struck the town of Codell, Kansas. A tornado struck the town on the same day the following year (1917), and a third tornado hit Cordell on May 20th in 1918.
1957 – A tornado touched down to the southwest of Kansas City and traveled a distance of seventy-one miles cutting a swath of near total destruction through the southeastern suburbs of Ruskin Heights and Hickman Mills. The tornado claimed the lives of forty-five persons, and left hundreds homeless. It was the worst weather disaster of record for Kansas City. About all that remained of one house was a small table and a fishbowl atop, with the fish still swimming about inside the bowl, rather unconcerned.
