That Goshen/Elkhart series of photos are some of my favorites. I think I recall Bob H. mentioning Paul Huffman actually took another photo that was unreleased? I might have read it wrong though.
Just noticed this. I probably did say that, Shawn. When I interviewed Paul and his wife, Elizabeth, a few years ago, he mentioned that he had taken seven photos. That puzzled me, because I had only seen the six, and I asked him about it. As I recall, he seemed pretty certain that he had taken seven photos, but I never did get to see the seventh. Now I question my memory, and if it's accurate, then I kind of question Paul's. I have the tape of that interview. I need to go back and listen to it just to satisfy my own curiosity.
That whole northern Indiana part of the Palm Sunday outbreak continues to intrigue me, even haunt me. I lived so close to where it took place when I was a child--just 25 miles from Dunlap--and as an adult, I've spent some extended time exploring the areas that got hit: Koontz Lake, Wyatt, La Paz, the Shore neighborhood by Rainbow Lake, CR15/Us 20, and especially Midway and Dunlap. I've walked through the old Midway Trailer Court grounds a number of times, or what's left of them, and I've stood at the spot where I believe Paul shot his amazing photos that day. An overpass now crosses the part where the tornado went through.
(I won't mention the numerous volcano books that also caused alarm.) The relative lack of truly instructive reading material didn't help; tornadoes were mysterious events that Just Might! occur anywhere, at any time. The fact that I lived in the Bay area was utterly irrelevant, and did nothing to temper my Tornado Anxiety.
