Forty-seven years ago at around 7 pm- a tornado touched down about 20 miles southwest of Topeka- KS..
Over the next 45 minutes- the funnel would grow to F-5 strength and slice a diagonal swath of destruction through Kansas' Capitol city.
Sixteen people died with more than 500 injured during those Wednesday evening winds of terror.
The TOPEKA CAPITAL-JOURNAL has an excellent slideshow of photographs of the during and after of what was then- the most destructive tornado in world history- doing around $100-million (1966 dollars) worth of damage.
