The 1944 Tornado Path
 Wheeler Township

Return to Stories 



The storm originated in Stockholm Township Section 31. It had been wide and very erratic in its southwest to northeast travel path probably due to multiple funnels. As it progressed thru Wheeler township, it seemed to narrow and increase its fury. The reddish path on this map is a reconstruction based on places that were damaged. After crossing over Cozy Corner, the storm was said "to have lifted over the Adams Ranch".
