What the hell were *100,000* Iowans doing in Los Angeles other than having a picnic?  Lightning is very rare along the Pacific coast as well.  We’ll spare everyone the “idiots out wandering around” joke. August 9th, 1936

I wish I could see thousands of people at Alki beach nowadays.   Or at least a photo of the 12,000 there 100 years and 1 day ago.   But click these links to see the beach area in 1912, 1916, and around 1911.  July 17th, 1911

I’ve only delved in a few pages, but there appears to be many stories of violent windstorms and thunderstorms that have visited Joplin, MO. June 3rd, 1904
