The so-called “storm of the century” hits the eastern part of the United States, killing hundreds and causing millions of dollars in damages, on November 25, 1950. Also known as the “Appalachian Storm,” it dumped record amounts of snow in parts of the Appalachian Mountains.
Forming over North Carolina just before Thanksgiving, the storm quickly moved north, striking western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West Virginia. These areas were blanketed with several feet of snow for several days and travel was impossible for nearly a week in some places.

The deepest pain of dread and sadness was all over me. I am 3 hours away from this area. The video and news footage of these people suffering was more than I could take. There still has not been full recovery. Hopefully, in the Thanksgiving celebration of individuals, many prayers will go up for these people as well as much more assistance.
