Survivors of horrific 1974 Xenia tornado recall twister’s deadly impact as anniversary nears

Survivors of horrific 1974 Xenia tornado recall twister’s deadly impact as anniversary nears: Lesa Taylor DeVond was a sophomore headed to track practice on a “sunny and bright” afternoon that would turn “cloudy, dark, just real eerie” shortly after the 14-year-old arrived at Cox Field.
A group that included her brother and a neighbor walked to a nearby shopping center to make a phone call inside a store to tell her mother a storm was coming.
When the tornado passed, she added, “we all got out and looked up and the (store) roof was gone. All the appliances and glass and everything were scattered (on) the floor.”
