Publisher Description: On May 3, 1999, one of the largest tornado outbreaks in history struck west-central Oklahoma and southern Kansas, killing 48 people, leaving thousands homeless and resulting in over $1 billion in property damage. Due to the magnitude of this event, the National Weather Service (NWS) conducted a Service Assessment to examine the effectiveness of NWS warnings and other services in minimizing loss of life and injuries. |
