May 13 marks a significant anniversary for Kalamazoo. In 1980, two F3 tornadoes touched down and carved paths through Van Buren and Kalamazoo Counties eventually winding right through the heart of Kalamazoo downtown central business district.
Five people were killed, and over 100 injuries were reported along with millions of dollars in damages.
To mark the 30-year anniversary, journalists Blake Naftel of Fox 17 News and the Kalamazoo Gazette’s Chris Killian will stop by the studio to retell the story of Kalamazoo’s worst day in modern history.
