I remember Dick Gilbert, through 84WHAS. There was an easy way he talked about traffic reports and a kind person. I remembered the ten year anniversery broadcast of the Super Outbreak, and they played all of his announcements.
My older brother retired army ran Cross Country Practice at the High School Nearest the McNeely lake sitiing. You always ran to McNeely and ran the course some and back home after school and they were very dedicated, some runners went home but he didn't. He said he saw a tornado go right down the Outer Loop which is a street that runs parallel next to the School. He watched it go by and headed on to McNeely without stopping on foot. This would of been a few miles North of McNeely Lake Park
@kennyembry My brother ran cross country for Southern High during that time and got a good view of the Louisville tornado while he ran. I, on the other hand, hid in the basement with my visiting Aunt (who insisted her empty luggage be brought down to her!) while the rest of the family rushed outside to watch it. Of course, I was only seven at the time and terrified of tornadoes. I still remember the weird clouds and pea-soup skies before the storm struck and the sound of the sirens.
@kennyembry When I ran for Moore the next year, me and some of the other guys would get a ride to McNeely or ditch practice if possible but my brother, though not a good a runner wouldn't ditch if you paid him, or for rain or tornados. He was also highest peacetime honors military and has 200 acres now where storms come through often. After being let go from grade school my mother just had to go, all the way to the West end N33rd to get grandmas check aroud 5pm just after the Brandenburg Tndo

@talladegajunkie1439 Pshhew! How do u know, and what is he doing now?
Beauty4Aspies 1 year ago
@Beauty4Aspies, He survived. He gave Louisville a play-by-play of what was going on, and was still in the air well after the tornado had passed.

You're welcome! And I hope it doesn't get taken down either. I made the title and description pretty vague so I'm hoping it doesn't get noticed.

@ColonelAngus75 Well, it's been up for over a year-a good omen!
