Access to the St. Lawrence Seaway
via the Great Lakes makes Duluth
the most westerly Atlantic port in
the US, some 1100 miles (1770 km)
from the Atlantic ocean.
The deadliest tornado in US
history struck Missouri on
March 18, 1925. Leaving a
continuous 219 mile (352 km)
track, the tornado crossed three
states and killed 695 people.
