Is that when tornadoes hit downtown and blew out a bunch of windows?
The terrible Mayfest hailstorm?
I was in 5th grade. I remember the sun was still shining when the sirens first went off, which seemed weird. Ended up in the hall under a mattress and found out that when I get scared I fall asleep. I was terrified of tornadoes and the sound of the sirens for a long time thereafter.Yes and even though I was only 7 at the time I still remember it very well. I was with a babysitter that night and we were supposed to go to Mayfest but for some reason we didn't - it sure wasn't because of a storm because I remember clearly that day that it was sunny, not a cloud in sight because we had a 1st grade picnic at my school that day.
Every window of our house was shattered, my dad's car was totalled and he had to get a new one. The fence in our backyard blew down and the neighbors dogs got into our pool and somehow didn't drown. I remember being more scared of tornadoes at the time than hail. My babysitter went outside and grabbed a hailstone and put it in the freezer. Was easily the size of a softball

You’re only 4 years older than me. Pictured you as being in your 50s or 60s.
edit: guess I’m not the only one that felt this way.
Had our high school senior trip that day. We got home and bunch of us went to eat at some Italian restaurant on Forest Park Blvd. I don’t even remember what it was called. We heard this big crash sound on the roof and then some guy brought in the biggest hail stone I’ve ever seen in my life. The storm must have just missed us to the north because we only got a few stones. All our parents started calling the restaurant to see if we were ok. I left for home and it was a maze of broken limbs all the way to south Fort Worth. I will definitely never forget that day, if a remember correctly only a few days earlier a storm (tornado?) blew down lights at Amon Carter Stadium.
