November 5, 2024

A couple years ago, before we had a blog, I put together an analysis of a truly remarkable severe weather event from Colorado history on its 100th anniversary: the killer tornadoes of November 4, 1922.

There’s not much comparison for this storm: it was one of the deadliest tornado outbreaks in state history, and it happened in November (!) in the early morning (!!). I took a look back both at what happened, and tried to recreate what the storms might have looked like using a modern weather prediction model. I figured it was worth sharing the link here on the blog, in case it might be of interest on the 102nd anniversary: https://www.authorea.com/users/334136/articles/593038-the-colorado-killer-tornadoes-of-november-4-1922 . It’s an interesting and tragic piece of Colorado weather and climate history.
