I think it was in 1953. I don't remember it; I was in kindergarten. My older brother (who died three years ago) remembered it well; he told me about it a zillion times. My mother went out in her underwear to the kindergarten, she was so worried about me. It was in Warner Robins, Georgia, and it flattened half the city. One girl my brother was in high school with was killed. He said she stuck her head out from under the bed and something hit her head. If she had stayed under the bed, she would have been all right. As I said, I have no memory of it at all; I hope I never see or get anywhere near one of those things.
