1911 Missouri storm: A reminder of just how mild the weather was, back before you ruined it by plugging in your cell phone charger

MU Scientists Detail Cause of 1911 Storm | KOMU.com | Columbia, MO |

COLUMBIA - Saturday, Nov. 11, 1911 saw what was probably the most sudden and dangerous cold blast in Midwest American history, the Great Blue Norther of 11/11/11. People who enjoyed a summer-like morning froze to death in heavy snowfall that evening. Blue skies changed to low clouds, driving rain, sleet, hail, thunderstorms, tornadoes and blizzards in half a day. Winds were so violent that they turned buildings into trapezoids.
