These findings are presented here, along with discrepancies that were found with the National Climatic Data Center\u2019s storm event database for the number of tornadoes and fatalities that occurred in this event. Potential strategies in forensic meteorology for future studies of historic tornado events also are presented, including suggestions for gathering and synthesizing data. Finally, strategies are discussed for using anniversary events to increase public awareness of severe weather.<\/p>\n<p>Full Text: <a href=\"https:\/\/ejssm.org\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vol3-1.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Citation:<br \/>\nOstuno, E.
