March 6-10, 2023, is Severe Weather Preparedness Week.
Jack McClure photographed this tornado just after the tornado hit Antioch Cemetery northeast of Homewood, Kansas, on May 20, 1957. It became known as the Ruskin Heights tornado. It began its long track to the KC Metro area when it touched down at Williamsburg, cutting through Franklin County. The tornado ultimately killed 39 and injured 531. #KansasHistory #KSWX #FranklinCOKS #Tornadoes @histodons
