At least three were arrested. As the tornado passed on its way, a reporter approaching the city by automobile said, “A heavy black cloud clung to the eastern horizon. Over the city there was a fleecy cloud, white and beautiful. It looked like a shroud.” The tornado was the second disastrous storm of the month. On the night of June 4, a twister traveled 90 miles across Northwest Wisconsin. It killed 28 persons and seriously injured 117. It was 5:45 p.m. when the tornado hit El Dorado. Trooper Bob Lemon of the Kansas highway patrol, on duty seven miles south of the city, saw it approaching. Warned Police by Radio “I followed it to El Dorado as fast as I could drive.” he said. “I warned the El Dorado police by radio that the storm was coming. I don't imagine I gave them a five-minute advance warning, if I gave them that much.” Another witness, Nancy Kerschner, a secretary employed at Radio Station KBTO, saw the tornado strike the city. She said: “It hit the Oil Hill district. RETAILING ITEMS If you're like the average consumer, you prefer bonded together with NHS for greater purchasing to shop in your neighborhood stores.

Hampered by lack of lights, doctors sent critical cases and those with bone fractures to three hospitals in Wichita. Portable generators were dispatched from Wichita to El Dorado by the Boeing Airplane Co., and McConnell Air Force Base and Wichita's National Guard unit delivered mobile searchlights. These provided emergency lights at the hospital. An office was set up quickly by the Red Cross, which arranged shelters for the homeless. A blood donors' office was established at Wichita and kept contact with a Red Cross mobile communications unit in El Dorado. Richard Tarrant and three other coaches at Skelly School were working off with about 30 boys on two baseball teams when they sighted the tornado. Mr. Tarrant said: "It was the biggest one I ever saw and I’ve seen quite a few. We rounded up all the boys. The ones who had bicycles we told to get on 'em and get out of there—go home. Then we put the others in our cars and took them home." Fifteen minutes later Mr. Tarrant went back to the school, where they could have taken shelter, and found it in ruins.
