Yesterday was the anniversary of the April 3, 1974 tornado outbreak. It was one of the biggest and worst tornado outbreak in the country. Cherokee Park here in Louisville was almost wiped out and the fairgrounds were badly damaged. There was other devastation but these two were the worst. But other than seeing pictures of the park with trees, one thing about the tornadoes still stands out in my memory. On April 4, schools and businesses were closed, and I vividly remember going with my Sweet Mother and Grandpa to the drugstore, and in the 52 years since, I have never seen a sky as crystal clear and blue.
