You may be unlucky but you'll never be as unlucky as Codell, KS on May 20th

Codell is an unincorporated community in Rooks County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2020 census, the population of the community and nearby areas was 49.

The little village of Codell went through an experience, the effects of which rated sufficiently to make Ripley’s Believe It or Not. It had a tornado three times in successive years-1916, 1917, and 1918 on the 20th day of May. The first year the twister passed at the west edge of town in the late afternoon. The second year it passed very close to the east edge of town in mid-afternoon. The third year, it came after dark wiping out a large part of town.
The 1918 tornado was a hard blow to the town, the effects of which it has never fully recovered. In spite of that and other deterrent influences, Codell remains a peaceful, friendly little village.
Imagine being a Codell baw on May 20, 1918, you think you've ended the curse and the town gets wiped out after dark.
Bet you couldn't drive a nail up anyone's arse on May 20, 1919.

I live in Louisiana and have been directly affected by two category 4’s and one category 3 hurricane, and one category 2 hurricane in 2 years.
I know. It fricking sucks.

That may be the most extreme example, especially with the freaky dates, but there are a few towns like that around the country that have seen much more than their fair share.

I mean Lake Charles and the surrounding area have had as bad a couple years as anyplace I can think of.
I’d imagine Moore / OKC / Norman area of OK along with that area from Hattiesburg, MS to Tuscaloosa, AL have to be up there as far as tornadoes, but LC and that area are the undisputed hurricane champion of the US right now.

It’s not something we’re proud of.

We will gladly relinquish that title.
