50 year anniversary of the 1974 SUPER OUTBREAK next month...50 years!!...time flys, man. The Xenia storm still fascinates. An F-5 tornado goes from one end of town to the other...and a decent sized town too. Just astonishing damage.
I’ve been riveted to accounts and podcasts of these super outbreaks and massive tornadoes the last few months, including Xenia. One account says Ted Fujita of “F”-ranking fame briefly thought of giving Xenia a “F6”.
My ex-inlaws in Rushylvania rushed to their basement for the first time in 30+ years, because of a text message, didn’t even have time to look outside.
