NWS Wilmington acquired these pictures of damage from the 1974 Xenia F5 tornado 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 the Xenia recovery efforts. We extend our appreciation to the PSCC for sending us these photographs.
