In 1979 most of my husband's family lost their homes in a mammoth F-4 that practically destroyed the town of Wichita Falls, Texas.

I was stationed in Wichita Falls in 1975 at Shepard. The last weekend that I was there they assigned me to be CQ (Command of Quarters). It meant that I was "in charge" of the squadron for an 8 hour shift. Of course we had to have a tornado watch going on during my shift. Now this was not a good thing; to put a California girl as CQ during a tornado watch. The squadron was brand new buildings that had no basement or shelter of any kind. That had to be one of the longest nights on my life.
