    I was 7 when this happened....saw the tornado and didn't even understand wtf I was looking at. Was like a mile or so away from it...it's crazy how it took years to clean up and rebuild downtown...I moved to Michigan in 04 and remember how some parts were still blocked off and damaged.

      The video is the beginning of the tornado as it was strengthening and hadn’t gotten into downtown yet.

    We were on our way home from Fort Worth in two separate cars. My husband pulled into a shopping center, but, since I was a Yankee (from Michigan), I forged ahead, trying to reach our house in Azle. In the same shopping center where my husband was taking cover, a young man who worked in one of the stores ran outside to call home and tell his family he was safe. The public telephones in Texas are often like a phone on a parking meter post with a little cover over the phone itself. While the young man was on the outside phone, a hailstone the size of a softball (3.5" in diameter) came from the sky, hit the young man in the head, killing him. Meanwhile, I was still (stupidly) trying to get home. I saw a hail stone hit my windshield. The windshield actually bowed in when the hail stone hit. I'll never forget that day.

    I was a valet parking cars at Del Frisco's that evening and got off early that day. So I went to the Black Dog Tavern (a basement bar underground) and had a couple beers. Then I saw the weather report on the telly and knew I couldn't leave so just waited for it to pass. When I was able to finally leave, the streets looked as if they were paved with diamonds (glass).

    Crazy! I was two but my mom remembers that day! She has never experienced a tornado especially since she was from Mexico. We live off beach and Lancaster, and our crazy enough has sort of a view to downtown. My aunt drove by and my mom was sitting out side the porch because the clouds were really dark. My aunt screamed at to in her car for shelter. That part I doesn’t make sense to me. But she said she was admiring the clouds lmao not knowing that was a tornado haha

      @owensanders7432 2 года назад

      Well, sorry for the late reply, they had a whole batch of ACA sirens back then, ACA Howlers, Allertors,P-15s, Thunder Bolt 1000S, Sth-10s, SD-10s, so the reason they didn’t sound that moment is because this was more later after the 3 minutes the sirens sounded, The sirens have a 3 minute timer on them so they will shut off after 3 minutes.
