I was 16 in 1954 when Hazel hit the area near Myrtle Beach and Calabash, NC. No TV. Just radio. That did last long because we lost power. The area we were in experienced the "EYE".

Experienced one Tornado in Knoxville, TN. Doppler radar was tracking it traveling west on a street just two blocks south of where we lived. I believe that the news cast was about as nerve racking that I had experienced. Having seen what one could. It did pass us by, but destroyed a lot of houses east of us.
I think I prefer Hurricanes over Tornado's. More time to prepare.
