In 2011, an EF4 tornado struck St.  Louis.  It was on
the ground for 22 miles, severely damaged around 20 homes
and left thousands without power.  But most noteworthy,
the tornado hit one terminal at Lambert Airport.  The
damage was so significant, the airport had to be closed
for nearly 24 hours.  Eight aircraft were damaged, two of
which were significant.  In 1944, from the 22nd through
the 24th, the Little Arkansas River wasn`t so little.  It
rose to extremely high levels in Wichita, where it
flooded around 2000 homes.  Flooding along the Walnut
River covered much of Winfield.
