Two devastating tornados are connected by being some of the most powerful ever recorded. The theme of this book is most likely about the terror of our weather.

The Tri-state Tornado of 1925 was the deadliest tornado strike in American History, tearing through three states and killing 700 people. Almost a century later, the Joplin Tornado was a mile-wide monster that nearly destroyed the heart of a vibrant city.

4.5: I like how the book shows you what was happening in these devastating events and makes you feel like you are actually in the book. One thing I think the book could do better is show how the people affected by the tornado came back from the terrible event.
