The San Luis Obispo Fire Tornado of 1926 | Episode 38

Description
On today’s episode, we’re going to play the biggest game of the floor is lava in California history. But there won’t actually be a volcano in this story. That would make so much more sense.
On this episode: we’ll discuss the difference between evacuating your home and evacuating your body; we’ll find out why you don’t mix crude oil with electricity; and we’ll discover a weather phenomenon strange enough to remove your eyebrows.
Not everything can be quantified in Dodge Caravans. With some stories, the most telling thing about them isn’t how big or fast they were – it’s about the terrible unlikeliness of something like that ever happening in the first place. What terrible set of circumstance brought these two things together to interact in such as a way that I make an entire episode out of it. I did sit down and try to work out the odds working against this episode ever even happening in the first place, but it ended up somewhere near 1 in half a quadrillion. We’ve done multi-combo disasters before, but this has to be hands’ down, the most statistically unlikely multi-combo disaster we’ve ever discussed.
This story has “bad touch” written all over it.

THANK YOU. Most shows survive at the whim of production companies and corporate sponsors, built from the top down. Doomsday doesn’t exist because some network exec believes in it – it exists because actual people do. It's built from the bottom up, and it’s been my privilege to bring you these stories. Just you, me, and a microphone.
I don’t do this for you, so much as I do this because of you. If you'd like to support the show at Buy Me A Coffee, or join the club over at Patreon for AD-FREE EPISODES, LONGER EPISODES, EXTRA CONTENT, all that good stuff (I’m truly sorry about those ads, they're not in my control)
