I left there the last time in late 69. About four years ago, when my son was in jump school at Benning, we took a day trip to Rucker. Even went out to Shell AHP, where I had worked between tours in Vietnam. Talk about memories.

Rucker could be a mess.

I was 15 or so at the time, but an F4 tornado destroyed the Southside High School, on Hwy 65 in Arkansas. The gym had 400 people in it before they cancelled the game and everyone went home. 3 people were killed on hwy 65, none of them locals. Had the game been in play, police and fire said that probably everyone would have died. The tornado not only destroyed the gym, it literally sucked/scoured the foundations down to the dirt. No trace of the gym was there.

I learned right then the power and fury of those damned tornados and keep my ears/eyes peeled when even a WATCH comes up.
