The video mentioned the Flint tornado in 1953. I was born in November of that year, but I remember the entire time I was growing up, during tornado season, we would get regular instructions as to what to do if a tornado shows up - what part of the basement was the safest, etc. I grew up being constantly aware of knowing precisely what to do and being afraid of tornadoes.

In 1975, I moved to Texas and even though I was now living in Tornado alley I didn't experience the same type of fear coming from the TV weathermen.

So, what happened in Flint in 1953 had long-lasting effect on the people like a fear that never really went away.

I’m in SW Michigan on the shoreline, and we as well had extensive instruction on tornado’s when I was in elementary school in the 60’s.
Later on, I was in Kazoo’ finishing my Master’s at WMU (Kalamazoo, MI)in May of 1980, when the tornado went through downtown.
