On April 16,1998 I was driving from Nashville to Chattanooga, TN. A tornado had just struck downtown and was east bound. Near the junction of I-24 and I-840 during a torrential downpour, it started raining fish and frogs. Apparently, a tornado was nearby and picking them up from a lake or pond.

I will never forget the Lubbock Tornado on May 11, 1971. It took over 40 years for most remnants to be cleared away.

I recently heard our town's disaster alert siren on a Sunday afternoon. They test only on the forst Wednesday of the month at 1130 am. There are only two reasons it is used: an impending tornado, or an emergency evacuation due to an emergency at the nearby nuclear power plant. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. Apparently there was a tornado warning a few counties over that was erroniously transmitted to our county. That was a terrifying few minutes.

Was a kid in Ohio when Xenia was trashed. Impossible to overstate the sense of shock and surprise.

I was raised in Columbus Ohio I was 16 years old When Xenia was destroyed. We went there and it was Indeed horrific! Never forget that. 😢😢

The bit about the nuns almost brought tears to my eyes. Your power of storytelling is profound! Thank you, History Guy!

I had the honor of working the WSR-88D radar program as active duty Air Force and Air Force contractor from 1992 through 2009. Watching the advancements in severe storm detection from the days of the FPS-77 and FPQ-21 to the WSR-88D was amazing. And the continued advancements in the technology and software updates to the WSR-88D, continue to improve the ability to provide more accurate warnings to the public.

I grew up in Rochester Michigan, on about June 1974 we had a hard rain and windy day. After the storm there were hundreds of tiny frogs all over our lawn. Before I cut the grass I would collect as many as I could in a tub and took them to a pond and deposited them there.
