Louisville Kentucky Tornado

[pacific707]

That was one of the worst days of my life. I was 13 years old. Tornados kept coming one after the other, it was relentless.

[666disturbedfan]

aww i live in Kentucky

[MegaSublime]

That sure was something.

[guitarruler1432]

i still live here and my moms sister was in a library when this was going on and when it hit my aunt died

[stormchickx78]

I live in Louisville now and find it better than the craphole small town I was living in before.

[princessmusaandbloom]

that's where i live! :D my mom was just 3 or 4 years old when this happened

[poprinsesse]

lol i live there my mom was in it thought but no damage it jumped

[alreltney]

Too bad this thing didn't take out the whole town. Louisville,Kentucky has got to be the biggest shit hole in North America. A real ass backwards town with plenty of corruption, useless bastards,pathetic government and just plain stupid citizens. Ah well there;s always tomorrow maybe it will happen yet.

[OctoberRoad]

I was born in Louisville and I still have family there. It's not as bad as all that. -Shane

What a douchebag you are!

[webkinzlover1011]

heyyyyy :( my cousin lives there

[ReformedPastorJude]

I was 4 yrs old. We were at the old Stuarts in oxmoor mall eating lunch, when the lights went out and some restaurant personnel announced that there was a tornado. i remember crying in fear. our neighhborhood was spared, but we saw a ton of damage on the way home that day

[chipsdips]

i was 11 yo,i will never forget ,we lived on a small section of payne st.off of franck.we had been out of school (barrett mid.)not long when we seen the funnel just about over cherokee park.when it came by it sounded like a train.i remember listing to the radio right after we came from the basement about how it was a major outbreak.man,it was awful.

I was in this tornado!,I actually rode this tornado through a time portal and was sent back to the day Abe Lincoln was killed.Strange thing about the day he was killed was that he was supposed to catfish noodling with a blacksmith named Albert Coogan but Albert said his wife was bitching at him for spending all his time fishing so he told Abe to go see a play or something while he went home and roughed up his big mouth wife for always nagging him about his fishing.True story,I was there

[caneycreeker123]

Hey Dixon I'm from Knott COunty too. I graduated ALC in 2002 and I couldn't imagine a twister in that area. It would destroy those hills.

[MasterChief9513]

i live in johnson county, kentucky

[bcrailfanatic]

The F4 tornado of March 27,1890 was the worst Louisville had. The twister killed 76+ people that day. Total of 71 people died in Kentucky on April 3, 1974.

[dixon0023]

I live in knott county kentucky, i the mountains. It is rare for a tornado to form here.

[howie6338]

I was 10 years old and I remember it just like it was yesterday. I'll never forget the guy in the helicopter (Dick Gilbert) that covered this. It was a very scary day. My grandma lived near the fairgrounds and it blew all of her patio furniture off her porch into God knows where.

[garygrn]

I was lucky enough to watch it go by.

[BrolyTheLSS1]

I Beg to differ with "Vileintent" i lived in kentucky from 1993-2008, everytime a storm came through TORNADO WATCHES, Severe ThunderStorm Watches, Warnings, FLood Watches, Flash FLood Watches. So It Gets Pretty Bad There.

[backgroung]

my dad was a kid when that happend

[Jamiesyme999]

another amazing post thx cyclonic

[chamfan117]

I live up in spencer, I remember tons of tornadoes every summer but they were all east of louisville (right ontop of me :( ) but they do get severe tstorms alot.

[Vileintent]

[nickibabe95]

[chaos00120]

[xxxxemokittenxxxx]

[rko1997]

[kpL7weenie]

[kenetha65]

I was 9 and playing outside too in Indiana. There was a lot of wind but we didn't know Louisville was getting hit until later.

[ajairjordan13]

my grandpa said he was around freedom hall then and he was trying to get out to c it. we havent had any 1s like tht since then

[ajairjordan13]

there r a lot of tornadoes here but there hasnt been to many bad 1s like those. my grandpa actually was out side watching that then

[stormspinner1]

1974 - super outbreak - believe that tornado went on to decimate xenia, ohio - lived in mansfield, ohio, about three and a half hours northeast of there - the clouds came over our house - a vivid memory - been in five of those things - terrifying, especially with no basments or shelter where i live now - can't afford - stay safe!

*storm* in texas

[Caylanc]

Wow. I'm 12...and I live in Jefferson County....hmm. I wasn't alive, thank god. I've been to louville before. WOW!!! I'm so afraid of April third...nearly every time we get really catastrpohc winds, or a tornado. And only four days from my birthday! Sucketh.

[gerkky678]

lol Jefferson county is in louisville

you prolly meant downtown louisville

[cosmicclara019]

wow. I live in Louisville!! But I was born about 20 years later lol. But man, Ive never seen such a tornado sweep though downtown.

[bluegrassvanners]

I was only 1 1/2 so I don't remember it but I've heard stories from my parents and grandparents....scary.....

[WhiteHorseInn]

i was a kid at the time and was eating lunch with my mom, grandmother, and brother at a restaurant in the oxmoor mall, when suddenly the lights went out and the manager or someone announced there was a tornado in the area and no one was to leave. amazing event..

[degeneration55]

there was a tornado here two days ago (louisville kentucky)

[deeeecraig]

you can see the old Commonwealth Life Building, the 800 apartments, a shadowy glimps of the Brown Hotel.

When this happened, I was at school, covering with the other first graders in the basement. I never actually saw the clouds. Seeing this WHAS film puts a scary thing in surroundings which are all too familiar to me. It's tough to watch.

[RayBosh]

F4 in USA makes me glad to live in Southern Ontario.

[Superbook4Eva]

@RayBosh - Interesting you should say that... Windsor, Ontario, was also hit badly during this same outbreak. I think nine people died.

[TheNaturalWoman]

I so remember this day. Thanks for sharing.

[jaybienweb]

Absolutely chilling. Thanks for sharing all these amazing videos!

[bshrader]

As I recall, this was film from WHAS-TV -- shot from the top of their building.

[Anticyclonic]

Oh, thanks...I was trying to remember the station. Now I can credit them in the summary.

[rdss122]

Looks interesting. Nice video!
