The Binger Tornado

I was born during this storm. Full details can be found here about the damage and stuff.

The money quote, "Although there were no injuries or deaths and a relatively small amount of property damage, when compared with other more devasting tornadoes, the Binger tornado of May 22, 1981 was no doubt a powerful storm. Evidence gathered from a ground survey of the storm indicates that it should be classified as a high F4 on the Fujita-scale. Damage to houses, trees, and equipment was severe, but not sufficiently bad to justify an F5 rating."

Thank god i was born in the storm shelter in the basement in a secure location or this blog wouldn't be here today.
