I have been told by family that was living in Paris in 1982 (?) that this water tower was swaying when the tornado passed over. I was living in Dallas at the time but if I remember correctly there were 11 people killed in Paris by that tornado. It was a bad one. When I saw mention of the water tower, that was my first thought. I will may a drive to the cemetery later this p.m. and report back my observation. I will have my camera in case I want to take some pictures.
