Sixty years later, the memories of the Oct. 14, 1966 Belmond tornado are still vivid for those who lived through it.

From windows breaking inside Ramsey School to neighbors and first responders searching damaged homes in the rain, local residents remember both the devastation and the way the community came together afterward.

In this week’s story, Tony Foss, Paul Rokke, Ed Johnson and Larry Turner share their memories of that day and reflect on why preserving Belmond’s tornado history still matters.

The Belmond Historical Museum will also mark the 60th anniversary with an open house Oct. 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
