My heart goes out to these people, especially those who were injured and the one who died.
I was in a EF 3 tornado 11 years ago. The same catagory as the one in Dayton. I was at home when it happened and downstairs. It was 1/2 mile wide and ws throwing baseball size hail sideways. I will never forget that sound. Only one person died in the one in that tornado. They were outside running away though.
I was not injured and my house only had cosmetic damage. I was at the edge of the 1/2 mile. There were houses a few blocks away that looked like the pictured of the Living room. Immediately the Active reserve locked the whole town down and booted everyone out of the area I lived in. I was not able to go home for a week and fortunately a friend let me sleep in his couch. Even though I did not sustain any injuries, it was the biggest disruption to my life I ever had. Dealing with insurance and contractors was a mess.
I actually may have learned about The Living Room on TUSCL. I discovered TUSCL while in Ohio and looked up clubs there. No idea if The Living Room was listed back in 2000.
