After reading this link, I guess I'm not the only one who thought she was mixed.

I don't want to debate this in this thread. You wanna go?
No need. I presented all the facts required. If you don't understand now you never will.

Back on topic...

The Great Tri-State Tornado of Wednesday, March 18, 1925, was the deadliest tornado in U.S. history. Inflicting 695 fatalities, the tornado killed more than twice as many as the second deadliest, the 1840 Great Natchez Tornado. The continuous =219 mile (=352 km) track left by the tornado was the longest ever recorded in the world: the tornado crossed from southeastern Missouri, through southern Illinois, then into southwestern Indiana. Although not officially rated by NOAA, it is recognized by most experts (such as Tom Grazulis) as an F5 tornado, the maximal damage rating issued on the Fujita scale

The V-3 (Vergeltungswaffe 3) was a German World War II supergun working on the multi-charge principle whereby secondary propellant charges are fired to add velocity to a projectile.
The weapon was planned to be used to bombard London from two large bunkers in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France, but they were rendered unusable by Allied bombing raids before completion. Two similar guns were used to bombard Luxembourg from December 1944 to February 1945.

I just stare at his pictures, and hear the sounds, the surroundings, and the total involvement of each person in each picture

... just try looking at any of his pictures and see if you don't hear/feel a story
