Weather experts break down how the
deadly twisters formed that day | 4
On April 11, 1965 our community was
changed forever as multiple killer tornadoes
tore through Elkhart and LaGrange coun-
ties on Palm Sunday, killing 70 people and
destroying hundreds of homes.
It was, without question, the darkest day in
local history. Now, 50 years later, we can
still feel the magnitude of that day as we re-
member those we lost and those we leaned
on for strength.
