On April 3rd and 4th, 1974, a tragic storm system produced 148 tornadoes that devastated 13 states in the South and Midwest. 350 people were killed by the storm system, and it caused $600 million in damage. Due to the Watergate scandal, on August 8, 1974 President Nixon became the first U.S. President to resign. The resignation was effective at noon on August 9, 1974. Vice President Gerald R. Ford assumed the country's highest office, becoming the first President to serve who was not elected by a vote of the people. One month later, on September 8, 1974 President Ford pardoned Nixon.
