“Also a Palm Sunday tornado cluster that took out a good share of Elkhart IN”
I remember the palm Sunday tornados of 1965. I saw both tornados the first one was a double funnell each was abouta 1/2 mile wide. It was ablsoutly surreal.
I was 9 years old for those Palm Sunday tornadoes. I remember the sky being the oddest yellow color. I’ve been near tornadoes since (the Army took my husband and I to Oklahoma, and Texas, all rather well-known tornado magnets) and seen the results, have been fortunate enough not to have had to be too up close and personal with them. I haven’t seen the sky the way it was in Michigan that day though.
Strangely enough the only funnel cloud I’ve seen, maybe a few hundred feet across, was in an old sugar cane field here on Oahu. I remember thinking - that can’t be here... this is Hawaii!
We do get tsunamis, only that’s more of a celebratory thing if you judge from the last one. Everyone heads to higher ground and parties for the day. Everything closes down. The tailgate parties were huge.
