New Albany To Mark 100th Anniversary Of Deadly Tornado

A southern Indiana city is preparing to mark the 100-year anniversary of a tornado that's considered one of the deadliest in state history.

Meteorologists, Floyd County's official historian and members of some of ! the families affected by that tornado will speak during a Thursday morning public remembrance at New Albany's City-County Building.

The News and Tribune reports the March 23, 1917, tornado killed 46 people and injured 200 others while destroying about 500 homes in the Ohio River city just northeast of Louisville, Kentucky.

A state historic marker in New Albany marks the location of the Olden Street School, which was leveled by the storm. Several children and teachers were trapped beneath debris as the storm left a 15-mile path of destruction in New Albany and nearby areas.
