...and the wounds for the ones who survived still sting whenever they hear winds picking up and the skies turn black.
For 27 people though it would be the last thing they saw and heard as the tornado ripped through the area carving a path of destruction over 40km long and causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.
Although I would not be born until 1994 my dad has never forgotten that day and being lucky enough to only bale out his basement of knee-high water.

To the 27 souls lost on that day, may they rest in peace.
