El Dorado, Kansas F4 Tornado — June 10, 1958
At 5:45 PM, an F4 (possibly F5) tornado tore through El Dorado, Butler County, Kansas. In approximately two minutes, it destroyed ~200 homes across a 45-block area, killed 15 people, and injured 50+. A car was thrown 100 yards into the air, crashing through a roof. A survivor found a broken record beside her after being flung 60 feet from her home — the record was titled "Stormy Weather."
