This week I told my students about Emmett Till and showed them photos they’d never seen before, about a man they never knew. I think Dan Wakefield made an impression. justinharter.com/dan-wakefield-…
I, a man on the Internet living in 2024, am dissatisfied with my computing life: justinharter.com/i-am-deeply-di…
My new book talks about all this and more about March 18, 1925 and the months that came after. You can sign up to be notified of pre-orders here: - JH #TriStateTornado bit.ly/43rD5Tx
The politics of the storm's recovery was evident in Illinois vs. Indiana. In Missouri, most of the area was unused rural land with few inhabitants, saving them from the same loss of life. - JH #TriStateTornado
Griffin, Indiana, a town of about 400, was thoroughly scoured, then cut off within a week due to rising flood waters at a confluence of rivers. They suffered the worst as men floated supplies in on small carts and boats. - JH #TriStateTornado
The whole world heard of the #TriStateTornado, even as some people, like Ind. Gov. Ed Jackson, didn't seem to think it was a big deal. - JH #TriStateTornado
President Calvin Coolidge encouraged Americans to donate to the Red Cross. He personally issued a check for $100 from himself. But that was it. - JH #TriStateTornado
The days following the storm were full of awesome measures, like an overnight shipment of Tetanus serum flown from Indianapolis to Illinois in what might be the first known medical flight in U.S. history. - JH #TriStateTornado
How did people not see it coming? How did people not even notice it when they stared right at it? There are a lot of reasons, like how it was on the ground so long it picked up enough soil and water to be nothing but a "big, black fog." It came to be known as ... #TriStateTornado
The Great American Tornado, as it was known for a generation, holds numerous records, including 3.5 hours on the ground across 219 miles, most deaths, longest track, and a mammoth F5 scale in excess of 300 MPH in parts of Illinois. - JH #TriStateTornado
A lot of people became heroes to others in the span of minutes. But the rescue efforts took days and months as the Red Cross mobilized a mammoth campaign. - JH #TriStateTornado
1/3 of all deaths in the tornado -- the single longest and deadliest in U.S. history -- were children. 234 people died in Murphysboro, alone. 33 were at the De Soto school when the floor collapsed. About 2,000 people were injured that we know of across the who... #TriStateTornado
Note from Justin: It would take days for death and injury totals could be accurately compiiled. And it would take a year for some of the injured to surive or die, leading to a death toll of 695. -JH #TriStateTornado
People are cold and huddling in overturned rail cars in Annapolis, Murphysboro, and elsewhere across the region. The sky is clear except for a few passing showers. #TriStateTornado
Newspaper reporters are trying to compile lists of the dead, but expect it may be as high as 10,000. #TriStateTornado
Too many fires are still burning across a dozen counties in Illinois and Indiana tonight and will likely burn through the night. "You can hear people screaming until they stop. It's ghastly," says one man. #TriStateTornado
Illinois Gov. Len Small has activated the National Guard to assist with traffic and rescue work in Illinois. #TriStateTornado
Ind. Gov. Ed Jackson has been informed of the storm in his state. "I'm sure the Red Cross has it well in hand," he reportedly says.
"There is no order here. We need the National Guard to help maintain order," says one nurse working in Griffin. #TriStateTornado
The first relief train with Red Cross nurses has arrived in Griffin. "A man just walked up and handed me a skull, unsure what to do with it," says a nurse. #TriStateTornado

Hey everyone! In honor of the 99th anniversary of the infamous #Tristatetornado, the amazing @jlharter is tweeting out timeline information on the tornado as if it’s happening today.. pretty eerie but cool to clench it out! #wxtwitter #tornado
One day I, along with most of the motoring public, was exceeding the posted speed limit on I-65 on my way to work in downtown Indy. I blazed by a car fastidiously going the speed limit. In that car was Indiana Chief Justice Shepard, avoiding even the appearance of impropriety.1/2
Here's a neat story for your Friday afternoon: Hunter the technology-sniffing crime dog can smell even the smallest electronics, thanks to intense training with @IMPDnews Det. Darin Odier: susiesplace.org/hunter-technol…
@Openly Can you really report this as true with no actual evidence? If she herself didn't confirm it and all you have is "implied" attraction then this is just a bad example of someone who might have been. Recontextualizing someone's sexuality without proof is not a positive thing
@jlharter Using the Iowa State Mesonet site that compiles a lot of NWS warning stats, I found that 2002-2021 we averaged 36 tornado warnings issued per year for the 39 counties of central Indiana that we serve. We've issued 19 thus far in 2022. mesonet.agron.iastate.edu #INwx
Sad news. One of the highlights of my time at the @IndianaHistory was meeting McCullough at a reception for his talk shortly after the release of his Truman biography. David McCullough, Best-Selling Explorer of America’s Past, Dies at 89 nytimes.com/2022/08/08/boo…
One of my prized possessions. RIP Mr. McCullough.

@BikeIndpls As an Irvingtonian I'm thrilled that the Pleasant Run Trail is going to be rehabbed (correct me if I'm misreading). The recent construction has improved some of the crossings, but the original 1990s asphalt is in bad shape.

So, to sum up the state fiscal year close out:
Today we discuss an article from @jlharter that really resonated with us. It’s a story of someone who owned his own business, found some success, and burned out. We discuss feeding “the hungry ghost”, “successful failures”, when to walk away & a lot more. releasenotes.tv/425-take-your-…
. @jlharter published an interesting follow-up piece explaining what we got right and what we got wrong in our @release_notes episode about his earlier article. If you liked this week’s episode, it’s worth reading.
Much to my surprise, @DazeEnd and @jcieplinski talked about my post a couple weeks ago. I have a couple of follow-up items after listening. justinharter.com/more-on-moving…
Is anyone out there looking for a great copywriter? I hear that @jlharter has a (very) few slots open for new clients. I’d get in touch while they’re still available.
