Oh no......
Maybe it will hit Yellow Springs this time.
Course its protected by the devil.
Xenia, Ohio really was hit badly. I doubt they welcomed tornados in 1974, and I doubt they’ll welcome them today.

March 15 to the north of me

I guess this can be the official thread
Almost 50 years ago to the day one of the strongest tornadoes ever observed

I never heard of Yellow Springs before.
What makes if evil?
Xenia Tornado (taken from Greene Memorial Hospital):
I live in SW Ohio. We’re in for a couple of rough days. Hope it passes us by with minimal or no damage. Prayers up!
Think of Yellow Springs as Berkley of the Midwest.
Latest model and observational data is still a go
Surface low is rapidly strengthening over IL at this time
Moisture will return stream north in wake of the morning storms
Providing a wide warm sector with several lines of supercells developing
Surface Winds will back south to south east as SW winds aloft strengthen
Creating extreme wind shear and rotating storms
Analog is indeed similar to the 1974 event
Of course my daughter landed back in Columbus last night, returning to the Ohio State from Easter
A compilation of images, sounds, video and news reports from the April 3, 1974 Xenia tornado.
The tornado that struck the city of Xenia, Ohio was the deadliest individual tornado of the April 1974 Tornado Super Outbreak, and destroyed a significant portion of the city.
A total of 34 people lost their lives in the tornado and its aftermath, and about 1,150 were injured.
Amazing video.

thats a mean looking tornado...man. And this was near the end of its path...it had already shredded half of the town.
I was in this Tornado as a kindergartener at the Nazarene Church on 2nd street in Xenia. I was cleaning up to go home and noticed how dark it was outside, like midnight. The alarm sounded and they whisked us away into the basement.
We could hear the wind and suddenly we felt it too, blowing through the hallway of the basement.
After everything calmed down we emerged into the sanctuary of the church and could see that the classroom we were in just a few minutes before was completely destroyed. The smell of lumber was everywhere and the temperature had dropped to a very uncomfortable level.
My mother came to get me on foot because the windows of our Chevy station wagon were blown out. We walked home, fortunately it was still there.
My father was on the fire department at the time and it was 3 days before we saw him again. Crazy to have lived through that.
Now, I’m a 3X tornado survivor. An F5, F4, and an F3. Only 2 more for the cycle.
The best thing about it is comedian Dave Chapel lives there.
Other then that its a vile den of Marxist scum that surpasses new York standards.
Unfortunately I happened to be passing through town when they threw the election for biden. I was blocked at a light by a fat lesbian in a sombrero and her gang and forced to sit through three cycles of the traffic light as they danced in the intersection while the yellow springs cops stood by and did nothing.
I will never enter the city limit again.
Unfortunately to do that I have to drive through the hometown of our corrupt governor Dick DeWine.
I like staying home whenever possible.
Even tornado fans cite this picture as one of the meanest looking tornadoes. The Tuscaloosa F4 with the horizontal inflow bands is also sinister looking.
OK...I have to do this, you’ve heard of the “dead man walking” Jarrell, Texas tornado in 1997? I would have a heart attack just seeing this:

wow...i never heard anything like that before. Wonder why such a small town is so “leftist”. Is there like a college of some type there? My interest is peaked now..gotta check this out.
Antioch University is in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
