    12 December 1925 - WORLD'S FIRST MOTEL OPENS IN SAN LUIS OBISPO,
    CALIFORNIA: Arthur Heineman opens the Motel Inn in a town midway
    between Los Angeles and San Francisco. As people began driving longer distances, Heineman sought to offer travelers a spot for the night
    beyond camping. Now, they could drive up to his "motor hotel" or
    "motel" and sleep in comfort.

    18 March 1925 -DEADLIEST TORNADO IN US HISTORY STRIKES THREE STATES: One
    of the deadliest tornado outbreaks in recorded history generated at
    least twelve significant tornadoes and spanned a large portion of the midwestern and southern United States. In all, at least 751 people were
    killed and more than 2,298 were injured, making the outbreak the
    deadliest tornado outbreak, March 18 the deadliest tornado day, and 1925
    the deadliest tornado year in U.S. history. The outbreak generated
    several destructive tornadoes in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana on the
    same day, as well as significant tornadoes in Alabama and Kansas. In
    addition to confirmed tornadoes, there were undoubtedly others with
    lesser impacts, the occurrences of which have been lost to history.
