We lived in Hebron, KY at the time this photo was taken of my brother and sister, Joey and Kim, and my boyfriend, Tim, who later became my husband in 1976. In April of that 1974, a tornado swept through our neighborhood. Our house was the only one left standing, but it was twisted on the foundation, so we had to move. There were boards stuck through the walls, windows were broken, boards were stuck between the floor and the walls where the tornado had lifted the house. Our family was in the very room where this picture was taken, hiding under the dining room table in the finished basement of our home. I was working at IRS as a seasonal worker entering tax information into a database in Covington, KY. I did not return to work after the tornado.
