1950 Fall Tornado

[Jake E]

I have known about this tornado and it generally bugs me that it's forgotten, it was a Duo-County tornado, spanning from Lancaster to Berks County.
It happened on November 4th for some reason, and it has been rated a F3, but Thomas Grazulis rates it a F2. The thing that makes me mad that people forget it is how it carried a woman 30 feet with part of a building! How could that be forgotten? Guess it wasnt that popular of a tornado. Please reply if you know someone who lived through this tornado.
