I'd have to agree, I would not at all be surprised to see another event or two of that magnitude in my lifetime. I would also not be surprised if somewhere in the state there is someone alive that remembers all three of the 'once in a lifetime' events in 32, 74, and 11. Statistically speaking, we are going to have a comparable event again someday, and the chances are just as good if not better of it happening in my lifetime as not.
I wish we could study pre-European settlement tornadoes here like we can with sediment cores for hurricanes. It'd be very hard if not impossible to do, but it would be extremely fascinating. If only we had tree species in the area that as a whole tended to live as long as some of the western conifers to help us out.
