History Hounds | Night of the Wind: The Palm Sunday Tornado of April 1965

[History Hounds] Night of the Wind: The Palm Sunday Tornado of April 1965 with Dan Cherry.

In April 1965, dozens of “Palm Sunday Tornadoes” tore through the Midwest, cutting a swath of destruction that stretched for hundreds of miles. Join us to hear about the tornado outbreak that killed 266 people—including 53 Michiganders—injured thousands more, and devastated towns in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula.

We'd like to thank the Historical Society of Michigan (HSM), which supports local history organizations, like us! They are continuing to make their History Hounds Lecture Series available online for free to members of HSM’s member organizations. Register for this remote presentation by 3:00pm the previous day.
