When I attended storm spotter training sessions in Ohio, 35 or so years
ago, the famed "Xenia Tornado" was the standard by which all other Ohio
tornadoes were measured. Some of the Xenia debris in the southwest part
of the state was found in the northeast part. But then, in 1986 I think,
I worked communications in the aftermath of the "Niles Tornado" and saw
streets that had only the basements of homes remaining. Now I live in
Texas where it is more peaceful (tongue in cheek).

I was standing in the long line prior to opening the first day at Xenia. (My first time
to "Dayton".) Struck up a conversation with a few people waiting near me. One
of them knew the Greene County Fairgrounds. Suddenly he pointed to the area where the
entrance gate was and said there used to be a line of tall trees there, but several years
ago a set of tornados took them down. Now how eerie and - hopefully - not prophetic.
