jeebus, I feel old. The photo in that tweet is the April 3, 1974, Xenia tornado. That same day I drove my Honda Civic around the curve on Route 50 in Ohio and straight into an F5 Sayler Park tornado. It picked my car up at the east end of Sayler Park and spit it out a couple miles away at the west end of town.
