A special thanks go out to NewspaperARCHIVE.com for allowing us access to their site and the opportunity to provide pdfs of the newspapers on this page. Without their help, we would not have been able to provide such a thorough coverage of the newspaper accounts of these historic tornadoes and some recovery efforts that took place.
