The infamous Tri-State Tornado left a 219-mile path of destruction across southeast Missouri, southern Illinois, and southwest Indiana, taking the lives of 695 people. The town of Murphysboro, Illinois was one of the hardest hit communities with 234 of the fatalities occurring there. To commemorate this historic event, the NWS Paducah office will be hosting a 100-year anniversary event on Saturday, March 15, 2025, in Murphysboro, Illinois.

I'm signed up to go. I live in Southern Illinois. I don't know if I'll attend the whole event, but I at least want to check some of it out. Is anyone else attending?
