On January 12th, 1888, a sudden blizzard struck the Midwest, causing over 230 deaths, most of them children, due to the lack of warning and severe weather conditions. This episode, hosted by Andrew, delves into the horrors of the Schoolhouse Blizzard, describing the rapid and deadly onset of the storm, and detailing the harrowing survival stories and tragic losses of those caught in its path. The episode highlights the failures in weather forecasting at the time, which led to significant changes in the U.S. weather reporting system, ultimately forming the National Weather Service.
