] Date Posted: 20:09:04 05/13/08 Tue In reply to: Richie Arnold 's message, "Matt McCorkindale" on 09:06:19 05/12/08 Mon Let's hope Matt is okay and wasn't in his office at the time of the tornado. Several siren warnings went off here in Harrison. The most I've ever heard. There were supposedly cells to the west of us and just to the south, but after all of the warnings all we received was brief heavy rain. Richie, remember the spring of '73 when the tornado took a southerly path across Harrison while we were all in our first period classes. I was in Mrs. McCoy's English class when it all started. It's king of funny now but as the rain began to pour hard she said that it reminded her of the time she went through a tornado. Seconds later it became very quiet and dark and once again she said it reminded her of the tornado she once went through. A few minutes later she looked out the window of the class and saw her garbage cans flying across the high school parking lot. That's the last we saw of her that morning. She walked out of class and left us all setting there wondering what to do next. I remember us all gathering in the hallways--some setting, some standing. I remember Tommy Matthews saying that if we'd actually been hit by a tornado the school would have been wiped out. The school really had no plan at the time for such an event. At least that was my recollection. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 12:46:08 05/17/08 Sat I did not check the site during the week so I did not see your post, Richie, until this morning. Neither Matt, his co-workers, nor any of his family members were injured. However, as you may have seen from the pictures in the newspaper, his offices were destroyed. His firm has set up temporary quarters in a separate building. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
