I love old family pictures. I don't have any of my family before about 1900, but I keep looking.

I love looking at old family pictures. I just recently found this one of my great-great-great-great-grandfather  ...

Born late 1700's



That is very cool! I have a very old picture of a great, great grandfather and it is  a metal picture of him!

Fifty years ago today marks a historical day in Indiana history

Brian Wilkes
IMPORTANT DATE: April 11, 1965 - 50 years ago today the deadliest tornado outbreak in state history occurred.

137 Hoosiers died as a swarm of tornadoes raked the state. 10 tornadoes across 18 counties in only a matter of a few hours.
37 Tornadoes would touch down in 6 states that day killing 258 and injuring 3000.

The historical image of the twin F4 tornadoes that struck the Midway trailer park near Dunlap was photographed by the late Elkhart Truth photographer Paul Huffman.

A 800 yard wide tornado would kill 25 near Kokomo. 84 people would die in Elkhart County alone.

Weather radar was space in 1965 and the then US Weather Bureau relied on information from Chicago and its radar. The tornado reports were so numerous that for the first and only time in US history a blanket tornado warning was issued.

Following that deadly tornado outbreak, the National Weather Service underwent changes to improve severe weather forecasts and warnings, including establishing the Watch and Warning Program that exists today and the weather spotter program, SKYWARN.

20 years ago we uncovered vintage film from the basement of Channel 28 WSJV - now our FOX affiliate.

I will be attending a 50 year commemorative ceremony in Elkhart Saturday with many of the family members that lost loved ones that fateful day.

Remember - it is important to have a severe weather plan and be ready to implement it in a moment's notice.

The chilling images and reports from the devastating storms in Illinois Wednesday night is a reminder. Severe weather season is here. Be alert and be prepared.

Well ... you know what they say about a bad day of fishing ....

Last week they had big storms and flooding in the mountains a couple of days before I got there. The big rivers were too high and dangerous to take the boat out on. Even the lake was chocolate milk muddy and full of trash from the floods. In all the years I have been going there I have never seen the lake that bad.

But we went up a little higher in the mountains and found a couple of nice, clear trout streams. It was cold, rainy off and on, and generally miserable, but we caught a whole mess of trout.  :biggrin:

Nothing tastes better then fresh trout!

Law of Logical Argument - Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.  ;)

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair

"Hitler is gone, but if the majority of our fellow citizens are more susceptible to the slogans of fear and race hatred than to those of peaceful accommodation and mutual respect among human beings, our political liberties remain at the mercy of any eloquent and unscrupulous demagogue." -- S. I. Hayakawa
