In 1899, strong southwest winds fanned a fire in Saint Francis, Kansas, around 2:30 AM. The winds, combined with dry conditions, fueled the fire which destroyed about three blocks of the town. In 1912, a violent F4 tornado developed south of Bartley in Red Willow County Nebraska and moved northeast to near Cambridge. Three farm homes were destroyed and five or more barns were swept away or reduced to kindling. Four people were injured as they hung onto trees in an orchard. $$
