This Day in Weather History ·

2022/05/12

They called it the Great Miami Tornado of 1997, but that was really, a bit of a stretch. It was an F1 tornado, so people in Oklahoma and Kansas were likely reading about it in the next days paper, thinking “oh how adorable”. It showed up like a proper Miami celebrity. It made possible some of the most haunting pictures which actually became the subject of worldwide media coverage. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

May 11 - Welcome to the 1934 “Dust Bowl”

This Day in Weather History ·

2022/05/11

That year, a severe drought spread across the region. Crops were scorched and withered and died. And as that spread like a virus to the entire Great Plains collection of States, wind began to carry dust from the over-plowed and over-grazed lands. The over-plowed and abused land was too weak to recover and there was no rain so it was hopeless. It was so intense and so dangerous that it forced thousands of families from Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico to uproot and migrate

2022/05/07

On May 7, 1902, Martinique’s Mount Pelée began the deadliest volcanic eruption of the 20th century. The complacency of the citizens played a role in the massive loss of life. When It hit, it hit hard. The following day, the city of Saint Pierre, which I can attest to, lives up to its billing as “the Paris of the Caribbean”, was wiped off the map.
