Letter: Tornado of 4-27-71

Vicki Brock writes:
I throughly enjoyed the article by Jack Jordan Phelps about the 4-27-1971 tornado. I was friends with him and Ronnie Flatt years ago. In my mind I pictured every step they took on their quest to chase a tornado story. By reading this article again it brought back lots of good memories of my friends. Jack was a really good writer and Ronnie was like a brother to me for years.

Coverage of the April 1971 outbreak:
Correction, April 27, 2023: A previous version of this article incorrectly listed the date as April 29, which was the publication date of many news items about the event. The tornado outbreak occurred on April 27, 1971.
