The only thing new that I learned was that there was also an earthquake (4.5) that day. I never knew that.
Your assignment today, class, is to write your recollections of April 3, 1974.
I'll get the ball rolling:
I'm not sure I remember a darned thing. I do recall hunkering down on blankets in the basement, listening to the radio. I even remember what the radio looked like, and the blankets. But I'm fairly sure that memory is a compilation of several- for I believe we went to the basement for multiple storm warnings, so I'm not sure if any of my memory is from that actual day.

I heard several stories today about the debut of Kentucky Derby Barbie.
I must be maturing, because it wasn't until the second time I heard it that I thought of selling Infield Barbie, complete with grass-stained shorts and removable tee-shirt, and of course a little sorority tattoo on her ankle.

On my blog I wrote I don't remember Us hunkering down during the 4/3/ tornado, but it stands to reason whenever we went to the basement during a storm, we'd have gotten on blankets, for comfort, because the basement was unfinished. So you're probably right.
