Tornado Strikes Byrd Park (60 yrs ago)

The Boulevardizen brings us a meteorological blast from the past with this story on the 1951 tornado that crossed the river, ran through the park, the neighborhoods of Byrd Park and the Fan, before petering out in the Northside.  In addition to this great diagram, The Boulevardizen also includes the account of a Rosewood Ave resident who say houses severely damaged up and down her street.
