Today is the 31st anniversary of the 1974 Tornado Super Outbreak. 148 twisters hit 13 states over a 16 hour period, leaving 330 people dead and 5,484 njured. 33 of the dead and over 1,000 of the injured were from a small town in Ohio that seems to collect tornadoes for some reason, and also happens to be my original hometown. In fact, I'll probably be moving back there soonish.

I wasn't born yet when this one happened, but it tried to prevent my being born as my dad was in it's path, lol.

Since I've come into the world, Xenia has been hit by three tornadoes, one of them was another F5 (Sept. 2000), and has had too many funnel cloud sightings to count.

Nobody knows why Xenia is such a tornado magnet. The town I live in now is only 5 minutes away and hasn't been hit by a twister since the early 1900's...and then it was only an F0.

So you see here the uselessness of the facts, but it could save your life should you ever find yourself in the tornado capital of Ohio

here's the famous pick of the twister taken by someone inside of the local hospital. that's the hospital's parking lot. God intervened and the hospital thankfully wasn't hit, or there would have been alot more dead.

Well, Palm Sunday was the 40th anniversary of the Palm Sunday tornados. I think it was Palm Sunday. Either that or Easter.

Went through Illinios, Indiana, Michigan and more. I don't remember how many it killed. 140 or something. The second deadliest group of tornados in history. I think a couple from my county died.
