Wednesday's anniversary brought back memories of falling shards of glass, an unsettled feeling that hung over the city and a fear that businesses' livelihoods had died in the storm. Ron Trumbla, spokesman for the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, said he hopes the March 28 storm will prompt homeowners to buy weather radios. They do save lives. They wake you up in the middle of the night, but they save lives. He said weather officials hope the radios will become as common in homes as smoke detectors.
Tornadoes can occur any time, anyplace.
