14. Meteorologists all over were freaking out the day Xenia was destroyed.

Some had grief written right on their faces, even if they were reporting calmly. So many people died in so many states, but especially in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.

I was working down in Cincy that day. One of the tv stations there pointed their camera straight out the window to show the tornadoes skipping across the hills of the city, live.

It was truly a horrific day.
