Скачать или смотреть The Deadliest F3 Tornado in U.S. History — St. Louis, 1927

On September 29, 1927, a violent tornado tore through St. Louis, Missouri, killing 79 people and becoming the deadliest F3 tornado in United States history.

In less than twenty minutes, entire neighborhoods were devastated. Schools were in session. Factories were operating at full capacity. The city was in the middle of an ordinary workday when the storm struck without warning.

This documentary-style reconstruction examines the rare meteorological conditions that allowed a powerful F3 tornado to intensify over a dense urban environment and survive as it crossed industrial districts, residential neighborhoods, and the Mississippi River itself.

Using historical records, eyewitness accounts, period-accurate visual reconstructions, and modern meteorological analysis, this film explores how the storm unfolded, why the destruction was so severe, and how the structure of the city shaped the human toll.

The 1927 St. Louis tornado remains one of the most unusual tornado disasters in American history — not because of its official rating, but because of where it struck, who was exposed, and how little time there was to escape.
