Xenia Tornado (taken from Greene Memorial Hospital):
Oh no......
Maybe it will hit Yellow Springs this time.
Course its protected by the devil.
Xenia, Ohio really was hit badly. I doubt they welcomed tornados in 1974, and I doubt they’ll welcome them today.

I guess this can be the official thread
Almost 50 years ago to the day one of the strongest tornadoes ever observed

Xenia Tornado (taken from Greene Memorial Hospital):
I live in SW Ohio. We’re in for a couple of rough days. Hope it passes us by with minimal or no damage. Prayers up!
Of course my daughter landed back in Columbus last night, returning to the Ohio State from Easter
I was in this Tornado as a kindergartener at the Nazarene Church on 2nd street in Xenia. I was cleaning up to go home and noticed how dark it was outside, like midnight. The alarm sounded and they whisked us away into the basement.
We could hear the wind and suddenly we felt it too, blowing through the hallway of the basement.
After everything calmed down we emerged into the sanctuary of the church and could see that the classroom we were in just a few minutes before was completely destroyed. The smell of lumber was everywhere and the temperature had dropped to a very uncomfortable level.
My mother came to get me on foot because the windows of our Chevy station wagon were blown out. We walked home, fortunately it was still there.
My father was on the fire department at the time and it was 3 days before we saw him again. Crazy to have lived through that.
Now, I’m a 3X tornado survivor. An F5, F4, and an F3. Only 2 more for the cycle.
Yep, today could get ugly.
yesterday, I was watching some storm chasers live on youTube and it was rough out in Missouri, Kansas, Texas, etc.
Almost to a man, they said today could be worse.
For those of you who haven’t heard of him, there’s a guy named Ryan Hall. He runs a show out of his house in eastern Kentucky. He’s plugged in with the latest tech and talks with storm chasers out in the field.
His show goes live on YouTube when the weather gets bad. Search for Ryan Hall Y’All on YouTube.
DISCLAIMER: I get nada from promo’ing his show. It’s a good one. I like it.
Brandon Copic is another storm chaser that runs a live show on YouTube. He’s worth checking out too.
