what a sad day for texas.

This tornado looks very similar to the Tuscaloosa, Alabama tornado of April 27, 2011. Many of the fatalities in Wichita Falls that day were people who were trying to escape in vehicles.

Lawton Oklahoma got hit the same day & time on April 10, 1979. They had an F3. No pictures were ever taken because people in Lawton were focused on the ones in Texas. 3 People died in Lawton.

Thank you for this video story.I lost my sister that day and have rarely, in the last 32 years, ever talked about or listened to anything relating to this event. For some of us, the scars havent healed. But I truly appreciate your video and the thought and effort put into it. I am glad I watched it.

you should get your Facts Right in the Video Here' you Said that 45 People Died in that Tornado' when it was Really 42 People that Died.

@HubbyHair There were 42 deaths as a direct result of the tornado. Three other people died from stress-related injuries, like heart attacks, that occurred the day of the storm. I felt like it might be insensitive not to include the additional three. Perhaps I should record the video again and change the line in question, since those people aren't part of the official number and therefore don't deserve to be remembered?
