On the afternoon of May 3, 1999, the National Weather Service issues serious tornado warnings via radio and television for Oklahoma City. Known as “Tornado Alley,” this part of the country receives frequent storm warnings that are often ignored by its many residents. As John & Dixie Szymanski prepare dinner in their new home, meteorologist Gary England broadcasts his most dire warning, “you have to be underground to survive this one.” In a matter of minutes the Szymanski’s and thousands of their fellow Oklahomans would experience and barely survive the fastest recorded wind speeds on earth.
