Robert, I do remember the storm of '58, too. One thing you failed to mention was that the steeple of the Baptist Church was blown off. We had 26 trees down around our home, but none hit the house. Mother was standing at the window when the one in the front yard was hit, and the impact jarred her so severely that she had to be in traction for a while. Waiting at home for our father and brother to come home from meetings was a nightmare. The streets were a mass of trees and live power lines, so our neighbor, Mr. Hudgens, stood in the street with a light to warn them when they returned. In a tornado in the '70's, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Ballard were literally picked up by the tornado and deposited into a tree in their VW bug. Mr. Ballard lost an ear but was otherwise unhurt.
