Sounds like you guys were dealing with "stone knives and bearskins". You only need to look at the black and white scans of that storm on the WSR-57. We have come so far.

Anyone know what part of Center Point got hit? That was a long time before my time here. I'm wondering what the conditions that were that day that prompted that outbreak, being so late in May.
