We had a total of four tornado warnings in Alcorn County and I spent only two thirty minute stints in the storm shelter. Most of the turbulent cells passed East of Corinth but one did go over us. Prayers to those that were injured and to the loved ones that have passed. We have been lucky up here, it could have been us.

April 10, 1979 in Wichita Falls...know it well. I am originally from Burkburnett and my Sister was manager of the Burger King at the corner of Kemp & Kell and was on the 3-11 shift. She spent the night directing traffic at the intersection until the police could man it...my Mother was a nurse at Bethany and saw the ones from Vernon to Wichita that were injured.

So glad you and yours are safe..
I will never forget that 79 storm..We finally found my son and his 8 mos pregnant wife the next morning.We had driven throught the stormy night to Wichita Falls. The Lord looked after we fools on a mission.
We had seen the devastation to their apartment during the night..The next morning we got the first look at empty house slabs along the route...It was a killer tornado indeed.
I pray for those who are injured, lost lost loved ones and their homes.
