On 30 March 1966, a tornado recorded to be said around the size of the town of Blueberry, Nebraska struck the town, had winds of over 170 miles an hour.

It was over 400 metres wide, produced 6 other tornados, all the other tornados being rated five EF0s and one EF2 that claimed 3 lives in Oklahoma City. It happened near midnight as it was also surrounded in rain, resulting in a death toll of 579. At least 3,300 people were injured. But soon after the "last" tornado died out, the last tornado, being an EF5 struck Alliance, Nebraska. Despite the area being isolated, it also struck Wichita and Kansas City. It finally died out after taking a 181-mile long path and 1.6 miles wide. N

  • On 30 March 1966, a tornado recorded to be said around the size of the town of Blueberry, Nebraska struck the town, had winds of over 170 miles an hour. Back in those days, it would have been rated an F3, but since there was EF4+ damage in most of its 196-mile path. It was over 400 metres wide, produced 6 other tornados, all the other tornados being rated five EF0s and one EF2 that claimed 3 lives in Oklahoma City. It happened near midnight as it was also surrounded in rain, resulting in a death toll of 579. At least 3,300 people were injured. But soon after the "last" tornado died out, the last tornado, being an EF5 struck Alliance, Nebraska. Despite the area being isolated, it also struck Wichita and Kansas City. It finally died out after taking a 181-mile long path and 1.6 miles wide. Nobody knows how many fatalities were claimed, but some said it was 2,500.
