Forty years ago Tuesday evening will mark the anniversary of the tornado that touched down in Fairfax. The date was June 11, 1973. It was a Monday evening around 8:30pm. it was very quick, but the memories of those that were living in Fairfax at that time, will last forever. Here's a couple of links to see pictures of the damage:

I think that year is incorrect.

I ain't that old.

[Chris Santee]

didn't you say that on the 30th anniversary ?

[MikeF9]

Sorry, Mike.
The date is right.
It has been 40 years.
Yes, you are that old.
And yes, so am I.

I so remember that!!! 
We as neighborhood children in the village of Fairfax were dispatched by our parents to clean up branches and small trees. 
I have never heard such a sound in my life as I did that night.
I was a terrified 10 year old that night.
