April 3-4, 1974
Xenia F5 Damage Photographs
In September of 2008, NWS Wilmington Ohio acquired these pictures of damage from the Xenia F5 tornado, which occurred on April 3, 1974. The tornado, which was part of the Super Outbreak, killed over 30 people, and injured over a thousand.

These photographs originated from the Public Safety Communication Center of Berrien County, Michigan. They were taken by a former Berrien County Emergency Management Coordinator who likely aided in recovery efforts. It is believed that these photographs have never before been published. The NWS Wilmington would like to extend our appreciation to the PSCC of Berrien County, Michigan, for sending us these photographs.
