Summary

The Super Outbreak of 1974 was the most intense tornado outbreak on record, generating 148 tornadoes from Alabama to Ontario, damaging thousands of homes, and killing more than 300 people. Meterologist Ted Fujita spent ten months studying the outbreak's aftermath and discovered "microbursts," sudden high wind patterns that could cause airplanes to drop without warning. He transformed aviation history and saved untold number of lives
