Tornadoes and blizzards sweep the nation in severe weather
Tornadoes and blizzards raged across Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Colorado, Nebraska, and the Midwest. Fatalities occurred in several states while Mississippi faced a major toll at a tuberculosis sanitarium. Rescue teams, Red Cross, and civil defense crews organized aid as crews fought zero visibility blizzards and wind-driven damage near Cheyenne, Laramie, and surrounding areas.
