It’s been two months since an EF4 tornado ripped across Putnam County. County leaders called it the worst natural disaster the county had suffered.

It was part of one of the worst tornado outbreaks to ever effect the United States. Dubbed “The Super Outbreak,” at least 148 tornadoes struck 13 states, all the way from the Gulf Coast, to the Great Lakes. 330 died April 3rd and 4th, 1974. Marty Smith was serving Putnam County in emergency management as that storm rolled through in 1974.
