That tornado seemed so surreal. It completely changed the way school systems handle severe weather. If there's even a hint of a tornado, schools close for the day.
I don't know if it's true, but I have always heard that the 911 system got started when a town called Guin, AL got blown away with 3 tornadoes coming together and sitting over the town for 30 minutes. I was a kid, living about 20 miles away and it was one scary night. That same night, towns from Alabama to Ohio were blown away.
I'm going to have to research that. I know Guin has seen their fair share of tornadoes in the past, so it will be interesting to see if there is any truth to that.
