Long before tornado warnings existed, a funnel cloud appeared on the western horizon of Monmouth, Illinois, at 4:30 PM on April 2, 1903. Residents near the edge of town had heard a low, steady roar for twenty minutes. At 4:32 PM the tornado touched down outside the city limits, striking the Wilson family farmhouse first. This episode reconstructs twelve minutes that changed a town of nine thousand people, in which eighty-nine died, hundreds were injured, and courthouse roof beams were carried three blocks. Drawing on the survey of investigator Garriott, who walked the entire damage path and interviewed witnesses, the documentary traces a track about twelve miles long and at least half a mile wide, ending near the village of Little York. Modern analysis places the storm at F4 intensity, with winds between 207 and 260 miles per hour, and some evidence, including a brick church completely removed and soil scoured to bare clay, suggests it may have reached F5 in the hardest-hit areas.
