Midwest Tornadoes

Has a tornado ever crossed over the same piece of land more than once?


According to a map I generated on the Tornado History Project, an F3 tornado in 1965, F4 tornado in 1990, and an F5 tornado in 1991 have crossed over a small area in Haysville Kansas at the coordinates  37°33'23.3"N 97°21'23.8"W
























There is an old idiom that says lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. Tornadoes don't seem to abide by this concept!

Interestingly enough, around noon on May 4th, 1977 an F3 tornado that killed two individuals passed through the backyard of the house that I grew up in. (Long before the neighborhood was developed)
