DBWI remembering the washington D.C tornado of 1814

im sure all of you know of the washington D.C tornado of 1814 that caused much damage to the capital and nearly took out president madison, what are your thoughts?

OOC: the pod is that the War Of 1812 never occurs so the burning of the white house would not happen and evacuation of the capital would be unnecessary, however the storm still happened.

Not much other than saying Madison was luckier than McKinley. The poor bastard died in the Galveston Hurricane, being the only US president to die in a natural disaster.

McKinley, IIRC, was fairly popular in Texas(despite being a Republican) and was seeking re-election that year; just in the wrong place at the wrong time, really.
