The most infamous of the storms struck the area around Andover and Wichita, Kansas. In Andover, 17 people were killed and more than 225 injured. The strongest storm in Oklahoma was the Red Rock tornado. This storm began just east of Garber, in Garfield County, and traveled 66 miles to just northwest of Pawhuska, in Osage County. Despite the violence of this intense tornado, it injured only six people. |
