In 1988, atmospheric bedlam broke out over much of the
Central and Southern United States.  While parts of
Colorado and Nebraska were overwhelmed by around 3 feet
of snow, tornado producing severe thunderstorms struck
the lower Mississippi Valley.  Eight tornadoes rated F2
to F4 tore through parts of Mississippi Tennessee and
Alabama.  The strongest twister, an F4, struck Attala
County in Central Mississippi.Fortunately there were no
deaths or injuries.  However an F3 tornado, one of three
that occurred that day, injured 35 people and caused $11
million damage as it roared across Cullman County in
North Central Alabama.A second F3 twister killed 3 and
injured 24 when it struck Fayette County in Southwest
Tennessee.  In 1962, Wichita measured its greatest snow
depth ever: 17 inches.
