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.

During spring break of 1995, we took the kids to Big Bend. We were driving back and were west of Abilene and noticed some tough clouds ahead. We decided to stop at a KOA campground off the highway and let it all pass so we didn't have to drive through it. We are getting things ready for the evening and making dinner when I heard on the radio that that area had just entered a tornado watch. I remember standing at the sink and saying to myself - "I am in a trailer, in Tornado Alley, during a Tornado Watch. Well, Lordy, this just might be my time."
Whenever I hear of a tornado tearing through a trailer park I always say; "Somebody must not have removed the factory tornado magnet."
