  1. I was gonna say The El Reno Tornado
    But that was in 2013 this is from 2012

    But what about The Joplin Tornado
    Or The Tri-State Tornado
    Or The Tunguska Explosion

  2. Hurricane Andrew has since been upgraded to a Category 5 at its Florida landfall, and many people forget it also made landfall as a category three storm in the Louisiana after its run-in with Florida.

  3. Ok, is anybody gonna talk about the 1964 Alaska Earthquake? It was a 9.2 on the Richter scale and it caused tsunamis that we’re over 200 feet high, plus crushing landslides, and it’s not on the list…
