A pair of tornadoes touched down in Colorado on Nov. 4, 1922.
The tornadoes were the latest tornadoes ever documented in the state. There has never been a documented tornado in December or January in Colorado.
That’s not the only thing that made those twisters so unusual. They also hit in the morning hours, and they were both killers.
Data shows that 92% of all Colorado tornadoes since 1955 occurred between noon and midnight.
The 1922 twisters killed six people, which is the second deadliest day in Colorado tornado history. The last tornado fatality in the state was in the Windsor tornado of 2008.
