I was stationed at Fort Sill, OK twice. In 1979, I was there when the tornado took out a swatch of Wichita Falls, TX and continued north to cause a lot of damage in Lawton, OK outside of Ft. Sill. I was back there in 1985 and worked with a woman who had been driving home in 1979 and didn't see the tornado until it sucked her out of her car on one side and her baby out of the car on the other side. They wound up so far apart that the rescuers didn't connect them and took them to two different hospitals. It took them several days to be reunited and they both recovered from their injuries. The lady had a lot of skin basically sand blasted off.
