"Terrible Tuesday"

Yesterday (Sunday) was the 26th anniversary of the Red River Tornado outbreak. Over 10 long-track, large, powerful tornadoes swept through the Red River Valley affecting Wichita Falls, Lawton, Vernon and Seymour among other communities. The Wichita Falls tornado was especially devastating. To this day, it's still 2nd most damaging tornado in American history, leaving behind nearly 400,000 million dollars in damage (by '79 values). The Wichita Falls tornado is also the last in the U.S. to kill over 40 people.

Please take a moment to visit this web site and reflect upon that horrible day.
