On May 31, 1985, 43 tornadoes roared through Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Canada, leading to one of the deadliest tornado days in American history. Along with 89 deaths and more than 1,000 injuries, the twisters caused more than $600 million in damage.

One of those tornadoes veered through Beaver and Butler counties, killing nine people after forming southeast of Darlington and moving east until dissipating just south of Sarver.
