Wild Weather Year Breaks Records
Number 1 Top Story of 2011
Posted: January 1, 2012 at 5:52 a.m.
Residents walk past the Lincoln-Cincinnati fire station after it was destroyed on Friday, Dec. 31, 2010, in Cincinnati. A tornado ripped through the small community around 6:00 a.m., causing at least three fatalities.
Bobby Spears’ weather moment of 2011 hit Jan. 1 as he surveyed the ruins of his community’s fire station. For Fay Miller, the moment happened April 25 when a neighbor’s son knocked on her door. Behind him, an overflowing creek lapped at her porch. Firefighter Willie Watts struggled all that afternoon to keep up with his dispatchers as calls for rescues increased faster than the water rose.
