This Day in History posted a story this week on an article published in the Sacramento Bee back on February 11, 1921, describing a terrible tornado which hit the Gardner Settlement near Toomsboro, east of Macon, Georgia on February 10. The tornado track was described as five miles long and half a mile wide and it was estimated at an F4 in strength. It hit a schoolhouse where 82 children and three teachers were present, launching 28 children into the air. Over 30 people died in the storm (some accounts say 31 and others 32).
