๐บ๐ธ๐จ๐ฆ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ Fascinated by weather since God was a boy (๐ธ๐ช๏ธโ๏ธ ๐ป๐ต๐๐ฆ๐ป) Aspiring tornado historian. Road trips everywhere, OK/KS sunsets, NH/ME sunrises.
@Wicky_dubs_WX The comments there are pretty ugly. Some of the ones here aren't so great either. If Pride month is good for nothing else, it will at least show us who the homophobes are, who we should avoid. Major kudos to Adam in San Diego! And thanks to the NWS for recognizing LGBTQ Pride!
@xoEspy@Zarhle1 I was literally just thinking about thisโฆ I know Grazulis did a tremendous amount of research on this, but I wonder how many small town libraries have even more untapped resources.
@Zarhle1 Lynn, MA to Newbury, MA to Hampton, NH: thatโs a pretty long track for coastal New England. Theyโre usually no more than a couple of miles long out here. David Ludlumโs book has great records of some of the โfirstโ (lol) tornadoes in the colonies, but I agree: there were others.
@brianemfinger Damnโฆ Iโve stayed there a few times passing through OK. They have a pretty large storm shelter there. Praying some of the folks were able to use it.
I know how hard Jen, Nelson, and Zach worked on this, all the research they did IN and around the city of Guin. Certainly amazing work by the folks at TT!! Thank you. ๐
Tragedy in Alabama: The Guin, AL F5 #Tornado โ April 3, 1974!
This detailed overview explores this destructive twister, one of the strongest of the outbreak and with one of the longest paths. It claimed 32 Alabamian lives and traveled over a hundred miles. Most notably, the town of Guin, AL, was nearly wiped off the face of the Earth, suffering the most significant loss of life. While the knowledge of Guinโs fate is deservingly prevalent, intricate details of this disaster have faded over the following decades. Communities such as Yampertown, Delmar, Oakville, Basham, and more, faced great destruction in their own right. Across the entire path, this work (and future chapters) aims to share the stories of the survivors, to preserve the memories of the victims, and to document all of the damage and surrounding history.

Itโs sad that I had to publicly address thisโฆ but my inbox and comments were filled with people accusing me of thisโฆ. Wild society we live in these daysโฆ.
We have a lot of areas of storm damage to investigate. It will likely take a few days to reach all the locations impacted. Here is a preliminary map of areas we're looking to investigate based on damage reports we've gotten.

@Point5Pa @nadocast An hour from the ocean? I know there are ponds and lakes in that area, but your statement is still inaccurate in the suggested context, lol
@ReedTimmerAccu@accuweather Wow! Are you here, Reed? Will you be going "live" at all? (I'm an hour away with a busy day, but I'd totally take a break to watch.)
@ReedTimmerAccu@accuweather An interesting day in New England today, for sure. Tornado warning was just extended through the NH border until 9:15 a.m. and another in south central NH. Radar shows rotation moving up over the crowded city of Lowell in a few minutes. As you know, very atypical event for us.
