The Great Cyclone at St. Louis and East St. Louis, May 27, 1896 : Being a Full History of the Most Terrifying and Destructive Tornado in the History by Julian Curzon (Compiler), Tim O'Neil Reviewer: A reader from Chicago So much has been written about this storm over the years and so much erroneous. Major tornado histories have stated there was no funnel cloud but as we know from this book that was true at the start of the storm but later in its path there clearly was a funnel--the book even describes its location at cloud level AND ground level--and then multiple funnels were evident. This contemporary account from more than a century ago still provides riveting reading. Perhaps one day someone will likewise document the Sept. 29, 1927, tornado which similarly has been misreported over the years (no funnel in that one, too, reportedly except I've spoken to people who SAW it). Availability: This title usually ships within 4-6 weeks.
