1953 Flint–Beecher tornado
On Monday, June 8, 1953, a powerful F5 tornado went right across the city of Flint, Michigan and its suburb Beecher. The latter city had 113–114 people dead following the severe tornado. Before the 2011 Joplin tornado in Joplin, Missouri, it was the final tornado that lead to triple-digit death tolls in the United States.
