The 1974 Xenia Tornado stands as an unequalled event that shaped our experiences during high school. Its impact reverberated through our lives, influencing the decisions we made thereafter. April 3, 1974 marked a pivotal moment, etched into our consciousness.

The legacy of the Xenia Tornado lives on in anyone who went through that tragic event. Not many of us can see the news footage of a tornado and not be transported back that day and the days afterward. Below are some photos collected over the years showing our town in the aftermath.
