I remember this day well, I was 7 years old and we were driving our Volkswagen camper from home in the Kansas City area to my grandmothers house in Wichita and we passed through Emporia early in the morning following the tornado. I was heartbroken to
see children's toys scattered along the edge of the interstate and fascinated with winds powerful enough to move a mobile home. I remember the trailer park along the west side of the highway was hit pretty bad. I was in my PJ's staring out the window and I desperately wanted to stop and pick up all the toys and get them back to their owners.
