Tornadoes Raking Great Plains


Tornadoes dropped onto the Great Plains on Thursday after forecasters warned of a potentially historic outbreak.

Computer forecasting models for Thursday resembled those on June 8, 1974, when 39 tornadoes raked the southern Plains and killed 22 people. The National Weather Service on Tuesday took the unusual step of giving advance warning of a possible tornado outbreak based on the conditions.
