Colossal trees snap like matchsticks. A gigantic orange fireball explodes in the funnel’s black core. Horses are sucked up and spit out alive by 200-mile-per-hour winds.

That fateful day comes back to life in And Hell Followed With It: Life and Death in a Kansas Tornado.

The book features dozens of remarkable photographs, in addition to a series of engaging, hand-drawn maps that place readers alongside individuals in the book as the tornado approaches.
