The photo came from this website - http://www.april31974.com/Photos_of_tornadoes.html (if memory serves - it's been a while since I wrote this post). Rest assured I didn't pull Joe's name out of thin air or by any means intentionally omit John's name from the photo. We appreciate your heads up on this one! -Liz Hi, Tanya,

I worked at the Cynthiana Democrat when John worked there and was at work when the tornadoes came through the county. I remember the photo very well, and after verifying with the Cynthiana Democrat, learned that the photo still hangs in the publisher's office. You are more than welcome to verify this information for yourself with the Cynthiana Democrat and/or John LaBore, himself. He still lives in Cynthiana, and is the only LaBore in the phone book. Proper credit should be given for the photo. The April 3, 1974 photo of the tornado in Cynthiana that appears on your website was taken by John LaBore, not Joe Prather.

I also recall April 3, 1974 vividly. Because of that day, I also have a life long terror of tornadoes and bad thunderstorms. That was my very first tornado season after moving to KY as an 11 year old. And what a doosie it was! My mom, two brothers and I spent that night huddled in a hall closet with an open escape door in the floor to a dirt cellar. We really should have been in the cellar but, we were inexperienced in the whole tornado business and fear of creepy crawlies won out over fear of the tornadoes. We reasoned we could all dive in if necessary. My dad was away on business and let me tell you, he would have had us down in that cellar for sure. Luckily we did no diving that night, just lots of worrying and praying. I have decided I will take my Utah spring snows (more snow expected this coming weekend) over those nasty tornadoes. Liz...I had no idea you knew all this meteorologist stuff! I am impressed! Liz…FYI that wasn’t me in the live chat yesterday, but it should have been. I also recall April 3, 1974 vividly.
