‘99 was a rough year, the Moore monster happened just 1 month after an F-4 killed 7 and injured 102 in Caddo and Bossier Parishes, areas off Benton Road were wiped out.

I was there.. Knew it was coming.. Hurried home to my apt on the top floor... Gary England said this thing was flattening houses.. So I jumped in my car and drove down to the local shopping center but the doors were locked and all custoomers were in the back of the store..
I ran down the shopping mall and found an open door to a vet clinic. I thought that a brick building would be safer than upstairs in a wooden apt complex.
I rode it out with the dogs in the back.
There was a steel door, it was shaking and I could hear the tornado, I thought how cool it would be to open that door and witness this thing. Then I thought: "If you open that door, it may be the last thing that you ever do in your life." So I didn't.
The tornado went about 12 blocks to the south of us.

LSU had a baseball player from Moore, Eric Henderson, whose home was destroyed by this storm. He transfered after the 1999 season.

One of the most insane weather events on camera.

This is Gary England's and the News 9 coverage of it which picks up earlier in the storm's life than the KFOR video earlier. It has news reports and interviews from people impacted in the last hour and half or so.
