100 farmsteads that were hit vanished. The twister began
in extreme Southeast Comanche County. The vortex quickly
intensified, reaching nearly one mile wide. The tornado
tore through Barber, Kingman, Eastern Reno and Southwest
McPherson counties before lifting 7 miles south southwest
of McPherson. Four fatalities occurred one mile
southeast of Medicine Lodge, one was 2 miles west of
Kingman, three were in East Hutchinson and two were in
