Non-tropical storms
[edit source]Tornadoes
[edit source]- Georgia - South Carolina Outbreak of March 1973- Contained one of the costliest tornadoes in US history
- I don't know if i should put this here or on a talk page somewhere, but there was a tornado/tornado family that hit several towns in north central Kansas on Tuesday, September 25, 1973. It killed a few people, and the tornado that hit Salina, KS was rated F3.
The only problem is I can't find anything that says whether this was a single tornado, a tornado family, or part of a tornado outbreak.I have several newspapers (Salina Journal) from the week that would be useful in writing an article if it turns out that this was something notable. --Ks0stm (T•C) 18:15, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- As it turns out, this may have been a tornado outbreak...I found a tiny article in one of the newspapers that says:
- "The National Weather Service has counted only 59 September tornadoes in Kansas since 1916, but in the past two days there have been 24."

- I did some research on this one a while back but never got a chance to do the article. Here are some links that'll help get started- PR Effects ($10 million, 2 fatalities), USVI Effects ($1.5 million), St. Croix effects, News report, Another News Report, Dominican Republic effects (10 dead), Damage pic, PR Aftermath (Disaster area), USVI Aftermath (Disaster area), Dartmouth, Probably low or mid importance.
