Was "The Wizard of Oz" based on a true story?

Question

I watched the Wizard of Oz and I was wondering if it was based on a true story? Please help

Answer

Be serious. The only part that was even possible was the yellow brick road.

Answer

The Wizard of Oz was inspired by the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson. Not necessarily based on any true story that I know of, but tornados are quite common in the Midwest.
