Weather History for Nov. 10 from the National Weather Service:
In 1915, November turned nasty when three tornadoes, of which two were violent F4s, struck central and southcentral Kansas.
The first violent tornado, with a track 35 miles long and around 300 yards wide, struck Great Bend, killing 11 and injuring 75. Damage totaled around $1 million as 160 homes were destroyed. Around 1,000 sheep were killed. Hundreds of ducks that were killed fell from the sky around 25 miles northeast of the end of the tornado's track.
The F4 twister that struck southcentral Kansas carved a track 16 miles long and around 200 yards wide from four miles south of Peck to Derby. Four people were killed and 28 were injured. The other twister, a narrow F2 with a track three miles long, but only 30 yards wide, moved just a couple miles southeast of Pratt.

In 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 729-foot long Great Lakes freighter, sank during a gale in Eastern Lake Superior about 17 miles northwest of the entrance to Whitefish Bay at a depth of 530 feet. All 29 crew members on board died in the tragedy, making it the most 'famous' disaster in the history of Great Lakes shipping.

In 2002, "The Veteran's Day Tornado Outbreak" reached a plateau. From Nov. 9-11, 83 tornadoes struck 17 states. Of this total, 60 struck on the 10th. The most powerful and most noteworthy tornado was the violent F4 that struck Van Wert, Ohio that afternoon. The tornado killed four and injured 17 along a track 52.8 miles long and around 1/2 mile wide. In all, 164 homes were heavily damaged and 43 destroyed or leveled. It's likely the number of casualties would've been much higher as the Twin Cinemas Theater was heavily damaged. Van Wert is located 77 miles southwest of Toledo. In all, the outbreak killed 36 and is the third largest November outbreak on record.
