50th Anniversary of the 1974 Super Outbreak

On April 3-4, 1974, there was a "super outbreak" of 148 tornados across the Midwest, 20 of them in Indiana and 26 in Kentucky. When we lived in Louisville in the 90s, folks still occasionally talked about the destruction there. I've a friend from Xenia, OH, where the death toll was high. This map can be enlarged at https://www.weather.gov/iln/19740403 Back in the '90s, I did some writing for the Kentucky Council of Churches. One of my interviewees talked about how Kentucky churches worked together to minister to tornado victims.
